Simulating the photospheric to coronal plasma using magnetohydrodynamic characteristics III: validation including gravity, flux emergence, and an eruption
Lucas A. Tarr, N. Dylan Kee, James E. Leake +2
Solar eruptions arise from instabilities or loss of equilibria in the solar atmosphere, but routinely inferring the precise magnetic and plasma properties that lead to eruptions is…
Self-Consistent Heating of the Magnetically Closed Solar Corona: Generation of Nanoflares, Thermodynamic Response of the Plasma and Observational Signatures
Craig D. Johnston, Lars K. S. Daldorff, James A. Klimchuk +5
The energy that heats the magnetically closed solar corona originates in the complex motions of the massive photosphere. Turbulent photospheric convection slowly displaces the foot…
Filament Mass Losses Forced by Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Corona
Craig D. Johnston, Lars K. S. Daldorff, Peter W. Schuck +4
Recent observations of the solar atmosphere in cool extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lines have reported the prevalence of coronal rain falling from coronal cloud filaments that are assoc…
Simulating the photospheric to coronal plasma using magnetohydrodyanamic characteristics II: reflections on non-reflecting boundary conditions
N. Dylan Kee, Lucas A. Tarr, Peter W. Schuck +2
We present our implementation of non-reflecting boundary conditions in the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code LaRe3D. This implementation couples a characteristics-based boundary cond…
