Abstract
Plasma and magnetospheric physics are reviewed, and the KelvinHelmholtz
Instability (KHI), the focus of the research, is introduced. Using
the results or KHI and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations
combined with simulations of particle motions in electromagnetic fields,
the movement and transport or plasma across the magnetospheric boundary
is examined.
