Test particle sampling and particle acceleration in a 2D coronal plasmoid-mediated reconnecting current sheet
Eilif S. Ãyre, Boris V. Gudiksen, Lyndsay Fletcher
Context: Solar flares accelerate electrons, creating non-thermal energy distributions. However, the acceleration sites and dominant acceleration mechanisms remain largely unknown.…
Avalanches in Magnetohydrodynamical simulations
Henri Lamarre, Paul Charbonneau, Quentin Noraz +5
Scale invariance is a hallmark of many natural systems, including solar flares, where energy release spans a vast range of scales. Recent computational advances, at the level of bo…
Decomposing wave activity in the solar atmosphere: Shocks, jets and swirls in the quiet Sun
George Cherry, Boris Gudiksen, Adam J. Finley +1
Context. There remains much mystery about how or if wave-energy in the photosphere can be transferred sufficiently upwards through the solar atmosphere to contribute to coronal hea…
Detection of wave activity within a realistic 3D MHD quiet sun simulation
George Cherry, Boris Gudiksen, Adam J. Finley
Context. Tracing wave activity from the photosphere to the corona has important implications for coronal heating and prediction of the solar wind. Despite extensive theory and simu…
Constraining the inner boundaries of COCONUT through plasma \b{eta} and Alfvén speed
Michaela Brchnelova, Boris Gudiksen, Mats Carlsson +2
Space weather modelling has been gaining importance due to our increasing dependency on technology sensitive to space weather effects, such as satellite services, air traffic and p…
Implementation of thermal conduction energy transfer models in the Bifrost Solar atmosphere MHD code
George Cherry, Boris Gudiksen, Mikolaj Szydlarski
Context: Thermal conductivity provides important contributions to the energy evolution of the upper solar atmosphere, behaving as a non-linear concentration-dependent diffusion equ…
