Abstract The interactions between upflowing thermal ions from conjugate ionospheres are modeled using a 1-dimensional hybrid particle code. The simulation model allows for multiple species, convection of plasmaspheric flux tubes, and Coulomb self collisions which conserve momentum and energy. Plasmaspheric refilling is studied, in which convection of the plasmaspheric flux tube and particle injection from an external source is included. The interaction of ionospheric thermal plasma and the injected plasma seems to play an important role in the evolution of the total particle distribution on the early time scales (t<1 hour).
