Current Computer Modeling Projects at IRF-Kiruna


Uses software built on the public FLASH software from University of
Chicago. Parallel, adaptive grid. Handles fluid (MHD) and particle (hybrid
and DSMC) simulations. Uses the Akka cluster with 5376 cores at the High
Performance Computing Center North (HPC2N) in Umeå
Hybrid model of Mars-solar wind interaction under development.

Will take part in the second ISSI meeting on Intercomparison of Global
Models and Measurements of the Martian Plasma Environment
An XMM-Newton proposal for observing Mars in November 2009 has
been accepted. This will be the first time that the Mars-solar wind
interaction is imaged in soft X-rays with simultaneous in-situ plasma
measurements (by ASPERA-3 on Mars Express).
With upstreams conditions known, it will be possible to model the X-ray
production
Moon hybrid modeling. Will be used to interpret the observations of
SARA on Chandrayaan-1.
