Interplanetary medium (IPM) filled with bubbles with complex interactions —solar wind, magnetic fields, and other dynamic processes all in one closed loop of interaction between two massive celestial spheres. These interactions frequently result in large disruptions, such as shock waves and abrupt variations of magnetic fields that deserve investigation. The disruptions magnetized ini and are caused by solar flares and the sun’s solar wind: these eruptions point out space weather, and can trouble satellites and space flights. We employ sophisticated computer simulations derived from the laws of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) to impose these disturbances on the IPM in this work. The simulations adequately reproduce key characteristics of both shockwaves and changes in the magnetic field, which are helping us understand how they are formed and change under different conditions. We validated the accuracy of our model by comparing the results with real in-world data. We also explored the effects of plasma density and magnetic field strength on these disruptions. This research enhances our knowledge on these phenomena and offers useful tools to use for predicting space weather and its consequences.
