An MHD simulation of plasma flow past Io - Alfven and slow mode perturbationsThe flow of plasma past Io is studied using a time dependent, three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation. In addition to observing the 'Alfven wing', a standing Alfven wave perturbation expected from analytic theory, it is found that the other MHD modes contribute important perturbations. Standing slow mode perturbations also are present in the flow.
