Three‐Dimensional Hybrid Simulation of Viscous‐Like Processes at Saturn's Magnetopause Boundary

Abstract Saturn's magnetosheath flows exhibit significant dawn/dusk asymmetry. The dawnside flows are reduced from expectation, suggesting significant momentum transport through the magnetopause boundary where the flow shear is maximized. It has been suggested that the solar wind interaction wi...
