Polar cut (XY plane) of the plasma density in simulations with (a) Sun–Earth IMF orientation |B_IMF | = 10 nT P_d = 1.2 nPa, (b) Sun–Earth IMF orientation |B_IMF| = 10 nT P_d = 30 nPa, (c) northward IMF orientation |B_IMF| = 10 nT P_d = 1.2 nPa, (d) northward IMF orientation |B_IMF| = 100 nT P_d = 1.2 nPa, (e) northward IMF orientation |B_IMF| = 200 nT P_d = 1.2 nPa, (f) southward IMF orientation |B_IMF| = 50 nT P_d = 3 nPa, (g) Earth–Sun IMF orientation |B_IMF| = 50 nT P_d = 3 nPa, and (h) ecliptic ctr-cw IMF orientation |B_IMF| = 50 nT P_d = 3 nPa. Earth magnetic field (red lines), SW stream functions (green lines), |B| = 10 nT isocontour of the magnetic field (pink lines), and v_r = 0 isocontours (white lines). The bold cyan arrows show the regions in which the plasma is injected into the inner magnetosphere.
