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.
• People Mats Holmström, Shahab Fatemi (MSc, PhD
  student)?
