3D Multi-fluid MHD Simulation of the Early Time Behavior of an Artificial Plasma Cloud in the Bottom Side Ionosphere

This repository contains the necessary files for reproducing each of the figures in Ober et. al (2021) - currently a manuscript. Each file is named after the associated figure number and stored in the HDF5 format - with maximum compression. In general all chemical species physical variables are stored with four indexed dimensions: (species, z-axis, y-axis, x-axis). The details for chemical species are based in corresponding index values with string array ‘species’:<br> 0 -&gt; Ba 1 -&gt; O 2 -&gt; O+ 3 -&gt; Ba+ 4 -&gt; e- Axis values are in units of meters (m) from spatial origin X-axis (1, 300) Y-axis (1, 300) Z-axis (1, 888) Chemical species number densities in units of meters cubed (m^3) number_density ( 5, 888, 300, 300 ) Chemical species Temperature in units of Kelvin (K) temperature ( 5, 888, 300, 300 ) Chemical species velocity component values - meters per second (m/s) velocity_x ( 5, 888, 300, 300 ) velocity_y ( 5, 888, 300, 300 ) velocity_z ( 5, 888, 300, 300 ) Magnetic field in units of Teslas (T) magnetic_x ( 1, 888, 300, 300 ) magnetic_y ( 1, 888, 300, 300 ) magnetic_z ( 1, 888, 300, 300 ) NOTE: To help meet the data set limit, magnetic field variables are excluded from file “_figure-1.h5”. For "__figure-7b.h5" and "__figure-7c.h5" only magnetic field components are included.
