It uses the finite volume method to simulate magnetospheric dynamics.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">I was involved in adapting GAMERA to in order to accurately compute the field-aligned currents (FACs) and better correct the MESSENGER data. More information on GAMERA here : .</p>https://ankitbarik.github.io/project/mercury/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://ankitbarik.github.io/project/mercury/<p style="text-align: justify;">MESSENGER observations of Mercury&rsquo;s magnetotail provided us with details of how the magnetic field of Mercury looked like. However, the corrects to the field-aligned currents (FACs) to the observations were done using empirical models. Along with , I adapted the MHD code to correctly map the currents in Mercury&rsquo;s mantle and solve for the FACs. Using these simulations, we are now in a position to be able to correct the MESSENGER observations.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">( Picture from a simulation by Regupathi Angappan. )</p>
