Advanced simulation methods for the coupled solar interior and atmosphere

该项目旨在开发复杂磁流体动力学模拟的数值方法，能够处理模拟域中尖锐和动态发展的不均匀性、球形几何形状以及密度和波速的急剧变化。该项目计划在太阳波过程的背景下发展这些方法，太阳波过程是能量从太阳内部转移到外部大气的基础，是不断掠过地球的太阳风加速的基础，也是太阳活动的基础。这将提供太阳大气如何工作的最佳模型，并直接暗示地球的空间环境是如何由太阳风暴和喷发决定的。

This project aims to develop numerical methods for complex magnetohydrodynamic simulations able to handle sharp and dynamically evolving inhomogeneities, spherical geometries, and dramatic variations in density and wave speed across the simulation domain. The project plans to develop these methods within the context of solar wave processes, which are fundamental to the transfer of energy from the sun’s interior to its outer atmosphere, to the acceleration of the solar wind that rushes past the Earth continually, and to solar activity in general. This would provide the best available modelling of how the sun's atmosphere works, with direct implications for how the Earth's space environment is determined by solar storms and eruptions.
