Theoretical Investigations of Releases of Lithium in the Earth's Magnetosphere.

Abstract

A detailed dynamic model appropriate for description and simulation of the release of a conducting plasma cloud in an ambient magnetized plasma is developed. Significant elongation of the chemical release cloud along the direction of the ambient magnetic field is predicted. The results will allow detailed treatment of the diamagnetic currents in the outer regions of the chemical release cloud associated with many of the interesting physical processes, such as the current-driven instabilities, of the chemical released event.
