Abstract

A 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulation is presented. The essential conclusions obtained by the previous 2D model, such as the slow shock formation and the strong plasma jet generation, are reconfirmed. In addition, several new findings pertinent to three dimensionality are obtained. Among them, particularly interesting and important is the generation of field aligned currents at the slow shock associated with a local interruption of the neutral sheet current. It is also interesting to observe the generation of super–magnetosonic flows with the Mach number of 2.
