    Response of an emerging flux tube to a current-driven instability (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Emerging magnetic flux plays an important role in the development of active regions on the sun and, perhaps, in the subsequent activation of flares. However, the energy input that produces preflare brightenings and flares probably does not come from the flux emergence itself but from one or more associated energy-releasing processes - likely candidates include magnetic reconnection and various current-driven plasma micro-instabilities. Here the interplay between the changing physical characteristics of an emerging magnetic-flux tube and the onset and evolution of a representative 'bump-on-tail' plasma current-driven instability is investigated. The microinstability heats the ambient material, thus changing the macroscopic characteristics of the plasma in which the model and current-driven instability occurs.

    Magnetic energy storage and conversion in the solar atmosphere (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: According to the approach employed in this investigation, particularly important simple configurations of magnetic field and plasma are identified, and it is attempted to achieve an understanding of the large-scale dynamic processes and transformations which these systems can undergo. Fundamental concepts are discussed, taking into account aspects of magnetic energy generation, ideal MHD theory, non-MHD properties, the concept of 'anomalous' resistivity, and global electrodynamic coupling. Questions of magnetically controlled energy conversion are examined, giving attention to magnetic modifications of plasma transport, the transition region structure and flows, channeling and acceleration of plasma, channeling and dissipation of MHD waves, and anomalous dissipation of field-aligned currents. A description of the characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic energy conversion is also provided, and outstanding questions are discussed.

    Detailed studies of the dynamics and energetics of coronal bullets (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Coronal bullets are small ejecta of cool, dense plasma observed to accelerate through the solar atmosphere from 20 to 450 km/s. The NRL Dynamic Flux Tube Model has been used to simulate the evolving physical properties of these dynamic events. The present calculations utilize an adaptive-gridding technique to resolve the fine structure within and around the bullets. In this work, an identification was made of a component of shocked plasma which piles up ahead of the bullet and eventually dominates both the dynamics and heating of the original bullet mass. The observational consequences of this shocked component are discussed in terms of the available HRTS EUV data, and suggestions are made for optimizing future observations of this phenomenon. An investigation has also been conducted of the structure of the bullet material visible in EUV spectral lines and the observable characteristics of the EUV-emitting plasma. Finally, the most likely mechanisms for accelerating the bullets, as well as favorable sites of origin are evaluated.

    Dynamic phenomena in coronal flux tubes (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The study of stellar atmospheres and the determination of specific physical mechanisms, geometries, and magnetic structures by which coronae are maintained is examined. Ultraviolet and soft X-ray components observed in the radiative output of cool stars and the Sun require counterentropic temperature gradients for their explanation. The existence of a hot corona is recognized as a result of mechanical or fluid dynamic effects and the importance of the magnetic field in the heating is accepted. Magnetohydrodynamic energy release associated with the emergence of magnetic flux through the chromosphere and its dynamic readjustment in the corona are major counterentropic phenomena which are considered as primary candidates for corona heating. Systematic plows in coronal flux tubes result from asymmetric heating and systematic flows can exist without substantial chromospheric pressure differences.

    Solar transition region response to variations in the heating rate (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The response of a numerical model for the upper chromosphere, transition region, and corona to variations in the energy input has been examined. The numerical model solves the set of one-dimensional two-fluid hydrodynamic equations in a simple vertical magnetic flux tube. The atmosphere responds to both the increase and decrease in energy deposition by smoothly readjusting the temperature gradient and the amount of material in the region of peak radiating efficiency to radiate away energy being deposited. At no time during this readjustment is a departure from a thin laminar transition region structure seen. In addition, a time-dependent description of the nonequilibrium ionization of all of the ionization stages of oxygen has been included. This calculation is coupled with the self-consistent calculations of the dynamical variables. It is found that the nonequilibrium ionization balance calculations for both heating and cooling small loops in the quiet sun predict relative ionic abundances which differ substantially from those which would be predicted by an equilibrium calculation

    The condensational instability in the solar transition region and corona (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The stability of plasmas at temperatures and densities typical of the solar transition region and corona is investigated using both a linear analysis and nonlinear time-dependent numerical simulations. Growth rates, decay rates, and oscillation frequencies of the perturbations determined from the linear analysis are in excellent agreement with the simulations. The nonlinear regime is characterized by a bifurcation of the plasma into a cool dense condensation surrounded by a hot tenuous corona. The condensation may then be accelerated by forces in the plasma such as those arising from gravity or differential heating. Finally, the results of the detailed simulation show that the transition region is a dynamically stable structure which is the result of the nonlinear evolution of the condensational instability.

    Dynamics and spectroscopy of asymmetrically heated coronal loops (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Numerical models of steady flows along coronal magnetic flux tubes of varying cross sectional areas are investigated. The flows are induced by altering the spatial symmetry of the heating. In two cases the flux tube geometry is symmetric about the top of the loop, but the spatial dependence of the heating rate is changed from a symmetric deposition which supports a stationary equilibrium to a time-independent asymmetric deposition. In a third case the volumetric heating rate is uniform, but one half of the loop is larger in volume than the other. The resulting velocity structure varies significantly with changes in the flux tube geometry. Calculations of the ionization balance and line emission for a number of ionization stages of oxygen suggest that heating induced flows may be responsible for the redshifts seen in spectral lines formed in the network at transition region temperatures.

    The dynamics of accelerating coronal bullets (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Results are presented of computer simulations of the jets that accelerate through the corona at velocities of 50 to 400 km/s. Particular emphasis is placed on the sensitivity of the induced acceleration to the form in which energy is put into the system. A comparison is made between the observed and predicted physical characteristics of the high-velocity bullets; the potential contribution of the bullets to the mass and energy balance of the solar corona is considered. It is found that the velocity and temperature evolution of the bullets can be modeled successfully by assuming energy input in the form of an external force, pushing continuously on the ejected material. From the physical characteristics of the model bullets and the energy input required to reproduce the observations, it is concluded that the bullets may constitute a significant fraction of the coronal mass flux but only a negligible component of the coronal energy budget.

    Numerical simulations of loops heated to solar flare temperatures. I - Gasdynamics. II - X-ray and UV spectroscopy (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The NRL's Dynamic Flux Tube Model is used to numerically simulate the dynamic response of a coronal magnetic loop to an energy input of the order encountered in solar flares. The coronal plasma is heated by the deposition of flare energy at the top of the loop to more than 10 million K, yielding a conduction front that moves toward the chromosphere, where the plasma is heated by the large downward conductive flux and ablates upward to the coronal part of the loop at velocities of a few hundred km/sec. The conduction front simultaneously produces chromospheric ablation and compresses the material ahead of it. With the aid of compressional instabilities, the compressed plasma grows throughout the flare heating phase, presenting a possible source of the flare optical continuum emission which is correlated with soft X-ray radiation. The observational consequences of rapidly heated loop gas dynamic processes are discussed. In the second part of this presentation, the dynamical calculation results previously obtained are used to predict the spectral line intensities, profiles and wavelengths of several X-ray lines and the UV line of Fe XXI at 1354.1 A. Three different viewing orientations of the loop are considered.

    Strong convective and shock wave behavior in solar flares (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A model has been developed to study the gasdynamics of a flare region heated by a stream of energetic electrons. It is shown that the energy deposition can introduce strong chromospheric dynamical effects. As a result of fluid motion into rarefied regions, there is considerable redistribution of mass causing a profound influence on the emitted line radiation.
