Ok so now I'll move onto what seems to be the follow up paper ...
(
WARNING: This paper is 8.3 MB mainly because it has colour photos in it .. not because it is long):
"Advances in Numerical Modelling of AstroPhysical and Space Plasmas"
'Part II Astrophysical Force Laws on the Large Scale'.
Published: APSS, 1998.
I realise Carl's too busy to read thru all this and provide his input (why expect him to anyway?). But this paper seems to talk about the results/outputs of the model discussed in the paper in my original post. He also gives the simulation results of a random assortment of double radio galaxies and quasars. Eg: he gives simulation derived parameters on the radiation properties of Cygnus A; Rotation velocity predictions of adjacent birkeland filaments and gets onto Spiral galaxy rotation velocities.
Hey Bojan … I found a circuit diagram on Page 60:
"Generic circuit description of a space plasma problem (in this case, the flow of Birkeland currents in the Earth's magnetosphere/ionosphere."
He goes on and assigns values in the subsequent text.
More bed-time reading.
(Yawn !).
Cheers
