Simulation group led by Dusan Odstrcil (USA) and Fang Shen (China); At-large leaders: Noe Lugaz (USA) and Chin-Chun Wu (USA)

Scientific Objective

The main ISEST objective is to "improve the scientific understanding of the origin and propagation of solar transients, and develop the prediction capacity of these transients' arrival and potential impact on the Earth".

The WG3 (Simulation Group) will:

  • Provide global context for all CME events investigated by the ISEST team
  • Investigate processes of the CME initiation, heliospheric propagation, and CMEs interaction
  • Develop tools to assist collaboration of numerical modelers, theoreticians, and observers

Scientific Questions

Initiation

Propagation and Interaction

Impact

Simulation of Event Periods (with WG1)

  • Late July to early August 2010
  • February 2011
  • Early March 2012
  • July 2012

Investigation of Mechanisms, Processes, and Forces (with WG2)

  • Which mechanisms, processes, forces are governing the CME take-off and ICME propagation?
  • How does energy transform during ICMEs propagation and interaction?
  • How much variable ambient conditions affect ICMEs?
  • How SEPs are accelerated by shocks and how they transport in heliosphere?

Forecasting the CME Arrival and Impact (with WG4)

  • Arrival time
  • Geo-effectiveness
  • Energetic particles

Future Plan

TBD
