On the topology of global coronal magnetic fields

, 2014
This thesis considers the magnetic topology of the global solar corona. To understand the magnetic topology we use the magnetic skeleton which provides us with a robust description of the magnetic field.

Data-constrained Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation of the Global Solar Corona Including Solar Wind Effects within 2.5 R⊙

The Astrophysical Journal
Total solar eclipses (TSEs) provide a unique opportunity to observe the large-scale solar corona. The solar wind plays an important role in forming the large-scale coronal structure, and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are used to reproduce it for ...

MHD simulations of coronal heating

, 2015
The problem of heating the solar corona requires the conversion of magnetic energy into thermal energy. Presently, there are two promising mechanisms for heating the solar corona: wave heating and nanoflare heating.

Energy and Mass Transport Associated with Impulsive Spicular Flows in Solar Coronal Holes

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
How the solar atmosphere is heated from a temperature of about 5000 to 6000 K in the lower atmosphere to about 1–2 MK in the corona has challenged the astrophysical community for nearly 80 yr.

Dynamical age of solar wind turbulence in the outer heliosphere

, 1998
In an evolving turbulent medium, a natural timescale can be defined in terms of the energy decay time. The time evolution may be complicated by other effects such as energy supply due to driving, and spatial inhomogeneity.

Physics-based Forecasting of Tomorrow’s Solar Wind at 1 au

The Astrophysical Journal
Inspired by the concept of relativity of simultaneity used in the theory of special relativity, a new approach is proposed to simulate future solar wind conditions at any point in the inner solar system.

The investigation of quasi-separatrix layers in solar magnetic fields

, 2011
The structure of the magnetic field is often an important factor in many energetic processes in the solar corona. To determine the topology of the magnetic field features such as null points, separatrix surfaces, and separators must be found.

Why Do Solar Wind Models Get It Wrong? Understanding the Capabilities of Time-dependent Solar Wind Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
We explore the capabilities of time-dependent (TD) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) solar wind simulations with the coupled Wang–Sheeley–Arge (WSA) model of the solar corona and the Grid Agnostic MHD for Extended Research Applications model of the inner ...
