Magnetic winding โ€“ a key to unlocking topological complexity in flux emergence

Magnetic winding โ€“ a key to unlocking topological complexity in flux emergence

Abstract Magnetic helicity is an invariant of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) that encodes information on the topology of magnetic field lines. It has long been appreciated that magnetic topology is an important constraint for the evolution of magnetic fields in MHD. In applications to the solar atmosphere, understanding magnetic topology is โ€ฆ
