Description
The interactions between the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres dictate the planetary space environments. Three-dimensional global hybrid simulations allow us to better understand such interactions by considering particle kinetic effects in global configurations. I will talk about some of our simulation results for Earth's and Mercury's magnetospheres, including 1) Flux ropes and their effects on the magnetospheres, 2) magnetosheath high-speed jets and their effects on the magnetosphere, 3) magnetotail thin current sheet and magnetic reconnection therein.
