1 Global 2D Axisymmetric MHD Simulations of Coronal Streamers Graham Kerr 1 Mentors: Yuhong Fan 2 B.C. Low 2 1 SUPA, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland 2 High Altitude Observatory, NCAR, Boulder, Colorado
2 Solar Corona- Streamers and Coronal Holes Solar Eclipse: India, 24-Oct :33: HAO Eclipse Archive, Airapetian, 2011 ; Cottar & Fan, 2009 ; Uzzo, 2006 ; Suess, 2006 ; Gibson, 1999(2) ; Miralles, 1999 ;
3 Solar Wind Hydrostatic corona model leads to big overestimate in interplanetary medium properties. Parker abandoned the static corona and modelled an isothermal expanding atmosphere Thermally driven outflow --Solar Wind Parker, 1958 ; Parker 1965 ; Charbonneau, Large Scale Dynamics of the Solar Wind
4 Research Study Construct Streamer and Solar Wind solutions by solving the MHD equations numerically. We are interested in how Temperature and B-field strength affect: Streamer size Solar wind properties Density contrast between streamers and coronal holes.
5 Methodology Solve the MHD equations for a polytropic gas in an axisymmetric spherical geometry
6 Numerical Simulation Solved on an r, θ, Φ axisymmetric grid. r [1.15R, 30R ] θ [0, π] v r,v θ,v Φ,B r,b θ,b Φ, ρ, Initial State: Static atmosphere in hydrostatic equilibrium. Dipolar potential magnetic field (solar min. conditions). Drop pressure at outer boundary
7 Numerical Simulation B = 1 rsinθ 1 r A θ A ˆr r ˆθ
8 Numerical Simulation B = 1 rsinθ 1 r A θ A ˆr r ˆθ
9 What we are looking for Is the code solving the equations correctly? --Conservation Laws What is the velocity of the solar wind? --Compare the equatorial speed to the coronal hole speed What is the size of the helmet streamer? --Density plots ; equatorial velocity ; gas pressure vs magnetic pressure Are the densities and density contrasts realistic? --Create a white light coronagraph ; compare to observations
10 Conservation Laws - MASS & B FLUX Magnetic flux and mass flux are conserved along flux tubes. A(s)B(s) =A 0 B 0 = C 1 n(s)v(s)a(s) =n 0 v 0 A 0 = C 2 ρ(s)v(s) B(s) = ρ 0v 0 B 0
11 Conservation Laws - FLUX
12 Conservation Laws - ENTROPY Entropy is conserved along flux tubes P (s) ρ(s) γ = P 0 ρ γ 0 S V C V =ln P(s) ρ γ s
13 Conservation Laws - BERNOULLI ρ(s)v(s) B(s) = ρ 0v 0 B 0 p(s) = p 0 ρ γ o ρ(s)γ mnv(s) v(s) s = p s GM mn r 2 ˆr.ŝ Kinetic Energy Thermal Energy Gravitational Energy

23 Density Contrasts Guhathakurta, 1999 ; Gibson, 1999
24 Dynamical Adjustments
25 White Light Coronagraph pb(x, y) = l.o.s. C(r)n(r, θ, φ)ds Van De Hulst, 1950 ; Billings, 1966
26 Density Contrasts Revisited Guhathakurta, 1999 ; Gibson, 1999
27 Density - Comparing to observations ρv B = Constant Guhathakurta, 1999 ; Gibson, 1999
28 Conclusions Code successfully solved the MHD equations for a polytropic gas. Although we could not match the density contrasts we understand why. Good position to start modelling CME release from streamers Beyond polytrope: Thermal conduction Non- adiabatic heating Additional energy deposition Relax single-fluid assumption
