Linker, J.A., Kivelson, M.G. and Walker, R.J. (1988). An MHD simulation of plasma flow past Io: Alfvén and slow mode perturbations. Geophysical Research Letters 15: doi: 10.1029/88GL03662. issn: 0094-8276.

We have studied the flow of plasma past Io using a time dependent, three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation. In addition to observing the ''Alfv¿n wing'', a standing Alfv¿n wave perturbation expected from analytic theory, we have found that the other MHD modes contribute important perturbations. In particular, standing slow mode perturbations also are present in the flow. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
