Interaction of Energetic Solar Plasma with the Hermean Magnetosphere during Nominal and ICME Conditions
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-05-23)This dissertation combines work done in modeling plasma interactions in Mercury's near-space environment with MESSENGER observations to create new tools that can be used to further analyze the interactions between the solar ... -
Multifluid Magnetohydrodynamic Investigation of the Global Dynamics of Saturn's Magnetosphere
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-11-16)The dynamics of Saturn's magnetosphere are driven internally by the planet's strong magnetic field, rapid rotation rate, and inner-magnetosphere plasma source, and externally by the solar wind. We use a multifluid ...
