Noise-Sustained Convective Instability in a Magnetized Taylor-Couette Flow
Wei Liu
The helical magnetorotational instability of the magnetized Taylor-Couette flow is studied numerically in a finite cylinder. A distant upstream insulating boundary is shown to stab…
Conjugate Hard X-ray Footpoints in the 2003 October 29 X10 Flare: Unshearing Motions, Correlations, and Asymmetries
Wei Liu, Vahe Petrosian, Brian R. Dennis +1
We present a detailed imaging and spectroscopic study of the conjugate hard X-ray (HXR) footpoints (FPs) observed with RHESSI in the 2003 October 29 X10 flare. The double FPs first…
Double Coronal Hard and Soft X-ray Source Observed by RHESSI: Evidence for Magnetic Reconnection and Particle Acceleration in Solar Flares
Wei Liu, Vahe' Petrosian, Brian R. Dennis +1
We present data analysis and interpretation of an M1.4-class flare observed with the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) on April 30, 2002. This event, wi…
Traveling waves in magnetized Taylor-Couette flow
Wei Liu, Jeremy Goodman, Hantao Ji
We investigate numerically a traveling wave pattern observed in experimental magnetized Taylor-Couette flow at low magnetic Reynolds number. By accurately modeling viscous and magn…
Helical Magnetorotational Instability in Magnetized Taylor-Couette Flow
Wei Liu, Jeremy Goodman, Isom Herron +1
Hollerbach and Rudiger have reported a new type of magnetorotational instability (MRI) in magnetized Taylor-Couette flow in the presence of combined axial and azimuthal magnetic fi…
RHESSI Observation of Chromospheric Evaporation
Wei Liu, Siming Liu, Yan Wei Jiang +1
We present analyses of the spatial and spectral evolution of hard X-ray emission observed by {\it RHESSI} during the impulsive phase of an M1.7 flare on 2003 November 13. In genera…
Evolution of the Loop-Top Source of Solar Flares--Heating and Cooling Processes
Yan Wei Jiang, Siming Liu, Wei Liu +1
We present a study of the spatial and spectral evolution of the loop-top (LT) sources in a sample of 6 flares near the solar limb observed by {\it RHESSI}. A distinct coronal sourc…
Simulations of Magnetorotational Instability in a Magnetized Couette Flow
Wei Liu, Jeremy Goodman, Hantao Ji
In preparation for an experimental study of magnetorotational instability (MRI) in liquid metal, we present non-ideal two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the nonline…
RHESSI Observations of a Simple Large X-ray Flare on 11-03-2003
Wei Liu, Yan Wei Jiang, Siming Liu +1
We present data analysis and interpretation of a simple X-class flare observed with RHESSI on November 3, 2003. In contrast to other X-class flares observed previously, this flare…
