The Indian Scientists at the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism has developed fluid simulation code to study electric field structure in the magnetosphere of the earth.
Significance
- The study will help to plan the future space missions.
- The study will also lead to control fusion experiments to fulfill ever-expanding energy demands of humanity.
Highlights
- The scientists have developed one-dimensional fluid simulation code.
- The study helps to see the electric field in isolated pulses.
Magnetosphere
- The sun is the major source that deposits plasma around the earth.
- It forces its plasma towards the earth through its solar wind.
- This creates interplanetary magnetic field that is carried by the solar magnetic field.
- The interaction of the earth’s magnetic field and the interplanetary magnetic field creates magnetosphere of the earth.
Background
- The magnetosphere of the earth has several numbers of satellites revolving.
- When the satellites leave the observational domain of one satellite and enter into the other, a blind arena is created.
- The study will help to decipher this through computer simulations.
