Direct Numerical Comparison of Data Driving Strategies for Solar Flux Emergence in Magnetohydrodynamics: B-driving vs E-driving
Kyriakos Christos Tapinou, Axel Raboonik, David I. Pontin +3
Data driving is an important technique for modelling realistic magnetic field and plasma evolution in regions of the solar atmosphere where direct observations are either absent or…
Distribution of energy release events due to magnetic braiding
David I. Pontin, Klaus Galsgaard, James A. Klimchuk
Energy conversion by reconnection-powered nanoflare heating is one of the leading explanations for the heating of the solar chromosphere and corona. The aim of this paper is to she…
On the complex nature of coronal heating
C. A. Breu, D. I. Pontin, E. Priest +1
A large part of the hot corona consists of magnetically confined, bright plasma loops. These observed loops are in turn structured into bright strands. We investigate the relations…
Dynamics of Streamers and Pseudostreamers and Implications for the Solar Wind
Sahel Dey, David I. Pontin, Spiro K. Antiochos
The origin of the Sun's slow wind and its inherent variability remain unknown, but there is increasing evidence that interactions between closed and open magnetic flux in the coron…
Simulations of structured upflows from plumes and their connection to the solar wind
Kamlesh Bora, Lakshmi Pradeep Chitta, Yajie Chen +3
Small-scale transient jetlet activity and associated upflows from coronal hole plumes are potential sources of the solar wind. To elucidate the magnetic origins and driving mechani…
Coriolis force acting on near-surface horizontal flows during simulations of flux emergence produces a tilt angle consistent with Joy's law on the Sun
William Roland-Batty, Hannah Schunker, Robert H. Cameron +3
Joy's law describes the tilt of bipolar active regions on the Sun away from an east-west orientation, where the flux of the polarity concentrated at the prograde side tends to be c…
Exact Nonlinear Decomposition of Ideal-MHD Waves Using Eigenenergies III: Gravity, Generalized Inhomogeneous Quasi-linear PDEs, Mode Conversion, and Numerical Implementation
Abbas Raboonik, David I. Pontin, Lucas A. Tarr
Precise tracking and measurement of the energy carried by the individual magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes has important implications and utility in astrophysical and laboratory plas…
Exact Nonlinear Decomposition of Ideal-MHD Waves Using Eigenenergies II: Fully Analytical EEDM Equations and Pseudo-Advective Energies
Abbas Raboonik, David Pontin, Lucas Tarr
Physical insight into plasma evolution in the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) limit can be revealed by decomposing the evolution according to the characteristic modes of the system. In t…
