Firstly, a numerical model of DFs which is produced by BBF flux is built up. It is made up of three parts, i.e., magnetotail balance model, substorm growth phase model and substorm triggering BFF model. The result of numerical simulation presents the features of the DFs caused by BBF flux. With the appearance of high speed flow, magnetic field Bz component shows the changing asymmetric bipolar structure, which means that pre-front decreases to negative while expands rapidly on the DFs. When Bz increases to its maximum, it falls and becomes stable. With the DFs moving earthward while the high speed flow heading to the same direction, Bz on the DFs changes less and less. The generations of high speed flux and the DFs ma
