Space plasma simulation techniques are proposed to study                   magnetospheric dynamics.  A major research effort will be in                    the study of shock waves and discontinuities.  Kinetic theory                   approach will be used to investigate dissipative processes in                   the intermediate shocks.  These newly discovered intermediate                   shocks and their time-dependent properties will be studies for                  application to reconnection processes in the dayside                            magnetopause boundary layer.  A multigrid numerical scheme will                 be developed for the global study of the magnetopause boundary                  layer.  This model will be determine the role of Kelvin                         Helmholtz instability.  A unified model of the particle                         acceleration and wave emission in the auroral zone will be                      developed.  The model will explain the processes by which the                   ion beam energy in the plasma sheet boundary layer couples to                   the nonlinear phenomena (double layers and electrostatic                        shocks) in the auroral zone.
