THE STEADY STATE OF THE CHAPMAN-FERRARO PROBLEM IN TWO DIMENSIONS
Journal Article
·
· J. Geophys. Research
The steady state of the Chapman-Ferraro problem (flow of ionized gas near magnetic dipole) is formulated in mathematical ternas, but the three- dimensional problem presents little hope of an analytical solution, and it is not even obvious how to compute the solution. The two-dimensional problem is reduced to a standard potential problem and solved exactly. The solution is used to obtain an indication of the error in the flat-faced approximate model that has been used previously in three dimensions. (auth)
