Simulation of radiation belt wave-particle interactions in an MHD-particle framework

Simulation of radiation belt wave-particle interactions in an MHD-particle framework

In this paper we describe K2, a comprehensive simulation model of Earth’s radiation belts that includes a wide range of relevant physical processes. Global MHD simulations are combined with guiding-center test-particle methods to model interactions with ultra low-frequency (ULF) waves, substorm inje...
