COCONUT-MF: Two-fluid ion-neutral global coronal modelling
Michaela Brchnelova, Błażej Kuźma, Fan Zhang +2
The global coronal model COCONUT was originally developed to replace models such as the WSA model in space weather forecasting to improve the physical accuracy of the predictions.…

The role of plasma beta in global coronal models: Bringing balance back to the force
Michaela Brchnelova, Błażej Kuźma, Fan Zhang +2
COCONUT is a global coronal magnetohydrodynamic model recently developed. In order to achieve robustness and fast convergence to steady-state, several assumptions have been made du…

Assessing inner boundary conditions for global coronal modeling of solar maxima
Michaela Brchnelova, Błażej Kuźma, Fan Zhang +3
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based global solar coronal simulations are slowly making their way into the space weather modeling toolchains to replace the semi-empirical metho…
