Rutten 2012 Hinode/Ca II H BFI movie (courtesy by Mats Carlsson) In terms of physics, the principal quiet-sun photospheric agents are gas dynamics and near-local thermodynamic equilibrium (near-lte) radiation loss outside magnetic concentrations, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) within the latter. These processes are presently emulated well in three-dimensional timedependent simulations of photospheric fine structure. The spatial simulation extent4is /still too small to contain full-fledged active regions, but sunspots [12] 15 and supergranules [13,14] come into reach. Higher up, the radiation losses become

Consider the velocity gradient tensor, D ij D ij j (2) If are the eigenvalues of D ij, then h Dij I i e = 0 (3) Two real roots with opposite sign Pure imaginary roots r Two real roots with same sign Complex roots where e is the eigenvector. The eigenvalues can be determined by solving the characteristic equation det h D ij I i = 0 (4) which, for a velocity flow in two-dimensional space v = (v x, v y ), can be written as 2 + P + Q = 0 (5) where P = tr(d ij ) and Q = det (D ij ).
