Hydrodynamic models of the plasmasphereA brief history of the application of hydrodynamic models to the understanding of the plasmaspheric density distribution is presented. Then results from recent modeling are discussed in more detail and areas of agreement between theory and measurement are established. Finally, some calculations are presented which indicate important discrepancies between theory and measurement.
