3D Unstructured-mesh Magnetosphere Simulation

Type: Model

Model generated by Dan Spicer, NASA

Multimedia Items Available Relating to 3D Unstructured-mesh Magnetosphere Simulation
A rendering of the model of the Earths magnetosphere. The flat ribbons represent charged particles entering the influence of the magnetosphere and being deflected. The curved lines visible to the right represent the magnetic field lines extending out from the Earth. The force from the sun pushes these lines into a distinctive tail-like shape. Finally, the green surface represents a constant value for the magnetic field strength.   3028   A 3-Dimensional Model of the Magnetosphere (WMS)
