3D and 2D Transport Equations of Galactic Cosmic Rays in Modern Heliosphere Models. I
摘要
This paper presents the results of a longitude reduction of the full three-dimensional (in spatial coordinates) transport equation for galactic cosmic rays. It is shown that, in the simplest case of a quasi-stationary equation, commonly used to describe the intensity of galactic cosmic rays near solar activity minima, where only the coefficient describing particle drift depends on longitude, the resulting axisymmetric equation cannot be reduced to an a priori 2D equation in which the longitudinal component of the particle drift velocity is not considered. The presence of a drift modulation mechanism leads to the fact that, in the 2D reduced equation, the total drift velocity acquires latitude-dependent factor
