Magnetic Flux Braiding: Force-Free Equilibria and Current Sheets
A. W. Longbottom, G. J. Rickard, I. J. D. Craig +1
We use a numerical nonlinear multigrid magnetic relaxation technique to investigate the generation of current sheets in three-dimensional magnetic flux braiding experiments. We are…

Unstable coronal loops : numerical simulations with predicted observational signatures
T. D. Arber, A. W. Longbottom, R. A. M. Van der Linden
We present numerical studies of the nonlinear, resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) evolution of coronal loops. For these simulations we assume that the loops carry no net current,…
