Efficient algorithms of the numerical simulation of medium-scale irregularities in a low-latitude ionosphere

Abstract

A nonlinear difference scheme of solving transport equations in models of the Rayleigh−Taylor instability in the equatorial region of the Earth’s ionosphere is considered. For the test problems, the experimental value of the approximation order of the suggested method of the nonlinear correction of the difference scheme is obtained and the monotonicity of the constructed scheme is confirmed.
