Notes. Data provided for the plasma elements simulated in cases B (dawn flank injection) and C (dusk flank injection) at the end of run (ωLit = 11). ΓMSP – penetration degree inside the magnetosphere, XF – position of the propagation front along the XMSM axis, RM – radius of planet Mercury, component of the plasma bulk velocity at the propagation front,
and
– perpendicular plasma bulk velocity at the propagation front and trailing edge,
and
– first-order drift velocity at the propagation front and trailing edge, U0 – plasma bulk velocity at injection. Except for ΓMSP, all other quantities are computed in the equatorial plane (ZMSM = 0).
