Simulating of non-stationary processes in the ionospheric plasma
... the magnetospheric plasma is carried out. It is made on the basis of the numerical solution of the system of equations of energy, continuity and motion for O+, H+ ions and electrons along a power tube of the geomagnetic field. Differences between the hydrodynamic description and diffusive approach are especially considerable in the plasmasphere. These differences manifest themselves both in concentration of ions and in their velocities and have little impact only in distributions of temperature.
