Numerical Simulation of Magnetic Flux Emerging Through a Model Solar Atmosphere: Density Gradient and Velocities
This animation is one of a series depicting the results of a two-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulation of magnetic flux emerging through a solar atmosphere. The simulation has a resolution of 300x500 cells and a length scale of 16 Mm x 6.8 Mm. The simulation depicts 1730 seconds in the evolution of the model.

A animation of the evolution of the density gradient and velocities in the solar atmosphere model. The three velocities shown are the velocity normalized to the fast magnetosonic speed and the velocities parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field. Mach number contours are shown in green.    A animation of the evolution of the density gradient and velocities in the solar atmosphere model.

*Please note: the SVS does not fulfill requests for copies of the tapes in our library. On some of our animation pages, there is a direct link to a video distribution service from which tapes, handled by the Public Affairs Office (PAO)/Goddard TV, including some of our animations may be ordered. General information on this service can be found here.
