Magnetic field amplification and structure formation by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability
B. Popescu Braileanu, V. S. Lukin, E. Khomenko
We report on results of high resolution two fluid non-linear simulations of the Rayleigh Taylor Instability (RTI) at the interface between a solar prominence and the corona. These…
Two-fluid simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a magnetized solar prominence thread. I. Effects of prominence magnetization and mass loading
B. Popescu Braileanu, V. S. Lukin, E. Khomenko +1
Solar prominences are formed by partially ionized plasma with inter-particle collision frequencies generally warranting magnetohydrodynamic treatment. In this work, we explore the…
Two-fluid simulations of waves in the solar chromosphere II. Propagation and damping of fast magneto-acoustic waves and shocks
B. Popescu Braileanu, V. S. Lukin, E. Khomenko +1
Waves and shocks traveling through the solar chromospheric plasma are influenced by its partial ionization and weak collisional coupling, and may become susceptible to multi-fluid…
Two-fluid simulations of waves in the solar chromosphere I: numerical code verification
B. Popescu Braileanu, V. S. Lukin, E. Khomenko +1
Solar chromosphere consists of a partially ionized plasma, which makes modeling the solar chromosphere a particularly challenging numerical task. Here we numerically model chromosp…
Onset of secondary instabilities and plasma heating during magnetic reconnection in strongly magnetized regions of the low solar atmosphere
Lei Ni, Vyacheslav S. Lukin
We numerically study magnetic reconnection on different spatial scales and at different heights in the weakly ionized plasma of the low solar atmosphere (around ~km above…
Magnetic reconnection in the low solar chromosphere with a more realistic radiative cooling model
Lei Ni, Vyacheslav S. Lukin, Nicholas A. Murphy +1
Magnetic reconnection is the most likely mechanism responsible for the high temperature events that are observed in strongly magnetized locations around the temperature minimum in…
