AB: A new simulation code is being developed for the simulation of auroral Alfven waves. This code uses energy conserving reduced MHD equations which couple the Alfven and slow mode waves. The effects of the ponderomotive force, curvature, and anisotropic pressure, are included. The code is written in generalized curvilinear coordinates, and the equations will be solved in a meridional plane with dipole-like geometry. Results to date will be presented.
