Description:
Recent progress in the dynamic modeling of responses of the corona and interplanetary medium to solar events (such as surges, eruptive prominences, flares, etc.) is reviewed. In particular, coronal transients and wave phenomena are discussed in some detail including pertinent mathematical requirements. Within the context of hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, a summary of both one- and two-dimensional time-dependent models is presented. A comparison of theoretical results with ground-based optical, radio, ATM Skylab observations, Pioneer 9 and Pioneer 10 solar wind observations is also presented. It is illustrated that: (1) substantial progress has been made in the theoretical (i.e., numerical) modeling of coronal and interplanetary responses within the last few years; (2) two-dimensional, time-dependent modeling is needed to examine the details of nonlinear wave coupling; and (3) theoretical results of modeling appear to reproduce physical consequences successfully.
