Center for Space Environment Modeling http://csem.engin.umich.edu The Ambient Solar Wind Magnetic and velocity structure are shown for the steady-state solar wind solution. The purple sheet shows the current sheet while high speed wind is shown as orange (760 km/s) and slow speed wind as green (470 km/s).

Center for Space Environment Modeling http://csem.engin.umich.edu False color image of velocity magnitude with field lines shown in white
7
Center for Space Environment Modeling http://csem.engin.umich.edu 3D View and view on the Equatorial Plane False color images of velocity magnitude with white magnetic field lines at t = 0.53 hours

Center for Space Environment Modeling http://csem.engin.umich.edu Features of the Model CME initiated by force imbalance Flux rope propagates from active region 8210 AMR essential to treat the many length scales of the system including active region length scale in a 3D corona based on magnetic synoptic maps Future simulations will take the CME to 1 AU and use model output to drive magnetospheric simulations
