Comparison of Simulated and Observed Interplanetary Flux Ropes

2003 AIP Conference Proceedings  
Three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations of propagating interplanetary flux ropes are presented and compared with "in-situ" spacecraft measurements. Flux ropes are injected near the Sun with various inclinations. Specific features followed from simulations, as double-peak magnetic field profiles or a possibility to observe one flux rope two times by the same spacecraft, are searched in observational data.
