Perpendicular component of the plasma bulk velocity (top) and the zero-order (or electric) drift velocity (bottom) in the ZMSM = 0 cross-section inside the simulation domain for case A, at the end of run (ωLit = 10), illustrated with vectors (left) and color coded (right). The greenish color map shows the magnetic field normalized to its value outside the magnetosphere, while the reddish one the bulk or drift velocity normalized to the injection velocity. The white contour in the left panels encloses the high-density core of the plasma. The magenta curve is the magnetopause.
