Numerical simulations of rotating axisymmetric sunspots
Numerical simulations of rotating axisymmetric sunspots
A numerical model of axisymmetric convection in the presence of a vertical magnetic flux bundle and rotation about the axis is presented. The model contains a compressible plasma described by the nonlinear MHD equations, with density and temperature gradients simulating the upper layer of the sun's convection zone. The solutions …
