Transport and distribution of sodium ions in Mercury's magnetosphere: results from multi-fluid MHD simulations

This dataset contains VTK files of the four simulations that are presented in the paper Transport and distribution of sodium ions in Mercury’s magnetosphere: results from multi-fluid MHD simulations .

The physical parameters for each of the simulations are summarized below:

Sim-1: IMF = [0,0,-8.5] nT,            V_sw = [-400,0,0] km/s

Sim-2: IMF = [0,0,-8.5] nT,           V_sw = [-400,0,0] km/s

Sim-3: IMF = [0,0,-8.5] nT,           V_sw = [-400,0,0] km/s

Sim-4: IMF = [-15.2,8.4,-8.5] nT, V_sw = [-400,50,0] km/s

The Hall term is switched off in sim-2, but switched on in the rest of the simulations. The sodium source is used in all the simulations except for sim-3. In all the simulations, the solar wind density is 40 amu/cc with a temperature of 7.5 eV. We refer the readers to the aforementioned paper for more details.

These VTK files can be opened with Paraview.

本数据集包含论文《水星磁层中钠离子的输运与分布：多流体磁流体动力学（Magnetohydrodynamics, MHD）模拟结果》中呈现的4组模拟的VTK文件。
各组模拟的物理参数汇总如下：

Sim-1：行星际磁场（Interplanetary Magnetic Field, IMF）= [0,0,-8.5] 纳特斯拉（nT），太阳风速度（Solar Wind Velocity, V_sw）= [-400,0,0] 千米每秒（km/s）
Sim-2：行星际磁场（IMF）= [0,0,-8.5] nT，太阳风速度（V_sw）= [-400,0,0] km/s
Sim-3：行星际磁场（IMF）= [0,0,-8.5] nT，太阳风速度（V_sw）= [-400,0,0] km/s
Sim-4：行星际磁场（IMF）= [-15.2,8.4,-8.5] nT，太阳风速度（V_sw）= [-400,50,0] km/s

第Sim-2组模拟中关闭了霍尔项（Hall term），其余各组模拟均开启该霍尔项。除Sim-3组模拟外，所有模拟均引入了钠源。所有模拟的太阳风密度均为40原子质量单位每立方厘米（amu/cc），温度为7.5电子伏特（eV）。更多细节请参阅前述论文。
