The physics of twisted magnetic tubes rising in a stratified medium: two dimensional results

TLDR
In this article, the physics of a twisted magnetic flux tube rising in a stratified medium is studied using a numerical MHD code, and the problem considered is fully compressible (no Boussinesq approximation), includes ohmic resistivity, and is two dimensional, i.e., there is no variation of the variables in the direction of the tube axis.
Abstract
The physics of a twisted magnetic flux tube rising in a stratified medium is studied using a numerical MHD code. The problem considered is fully compressible (no Boussinesq approximation), includes ohmic resistivity, and is two dimensional, i.e., there is no variation of the variables in the direction of the tube axis. We study a high plasma beta case with small ratio of radius to external pressure scaleheight. The results obtained can therefore be of relevance to understand the transport of magnetic flux across the solar convection zone.

Formation of Torus-Unstable Flux Ropes and Electric Currents in Erupting Sigmoids

TL;DR: In this article, a zero-β magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of an initially potential, asymmetric bipolar field, which evolves by means of simultaneous slow magnetic field diffusion and sub-Alfvenic, line-tied shearing motions in the photosphere, is used to analyze the physical mechanisms that form a three-dimensional coronal flux rope and later cause its eruption.

Coronal mass ejections, magnetic flux ropes, and solar magnetism

TL;DR: A review on coronal mass ejections (CMEs) treats hydromagnetic issues posed by observations, in order to relate CMEs to flares and prominence eruptions and to consider the roles these processes play in the evolution of the solar corona in the course of an 11-year cycle as discussed by the authors.

Emergence of magnetic flux from the convection zone into the corona

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used idealized models for the initial stratification and magnetic field distribution below the photosphere similar to those used for multidimensional flux emergence experiments in the literature.

Resistive Emergence of Undulatory Flux Tubes

TL;DR: In this article, a linear force-free field extrapolation of one of the magnetograms was performed to study the magnetic topology of small-scale EBs and their possible role in the flux emergence process, and it was found that 23 out of 47 EBs are cospatial with bald patches (BPs), while 15 are located at the footpoints of very flat separatrix field lines passing through distant BPs.
