Formulation of ENLIL: Additional Continuity Equations • In some applications two additional contributions are included in the continuity equations ∂ ∂t ∂ ∂t ( ρ ) + ∇ ⋅( ρ ) = 0 c c V ( ρ ) + ∇ ⋅( ρ ) = 0 p p V these allow us to trace injected CME material (ρ c ) and magnetic field polarity (ρ p ).
