Heating of braided coronal loops
A. L. Wilmot-Smith, D. I. Pontin, A. R. Yeates +1
We investigate the relaxation of braided magnetic loops in order to find out how the type of braiding via footpoint motions affects resultant heating of the loop. Two magnetic loop…
Lagrangian coherent structures in photospheric flows and their implications for coronal magnetic structure
A. R. Yeates, G. Hornig, B. T. Welsch
Aims. We show how the build-up of magnetic gradients in the Sun's corona may be inferred directly from photospheric velocity data. This enables computation of magnetic connectivity…
A Generalized Flux Function for Three-dimensional Magnetic Reconnection
A. R. Yeates, G. Hornig
The definition and measurement of magnetic reconnection in three-dimensional magnetic fields with multiple reconnection sites is a challenging problem, particularly in fields lacki…
Dynamical constraints from field line topology in magnetic flux tubes
A. R. Yeates, G. Hornig
A topological constraint on the dynamics of a magnetic field in a flux tube arises from the fixed point indices of its field line mapping. This can explain unexpected behaviour in…
