  MESSENGER has observed a lot of dawn-dusk asymmetries in Mercury's
magnetotail, such as the asymmetries of the cross-tail current sheet thickness
and the occurrence of flux ropes, dipolarization events and energetic electron
injections. In order to obtain a global pictures of Mercury's magnetotail
dynamics and the relationship between these asymmetries, we perform global
simulations with the magnetohydrodynamics with embedded particle-in-cell
(MHD-EPIC) model, where Mercury's magnetotail region is covered by a PIC code.
Our simulations show that the dawnside current sheet is thicker, the plasma
density is larger, and the electron pressure is higher than the duskside. Under
a strong IMF driver, the simulated reconnection sites prefer the dawnside. We
also found the dipolarization events and the planetward electron jets are
moving dawnward while they are moving towards the planet, so that almost all
dipolarization events and high-speed plasma flows concentrate in the dawn
sector. The simulation results are consistent with MESSENGER observations.
