Advanced simulation methods for the coupled solar interior and atmosphere

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
