Solar magnetism simulation. Supercomputer simulation of magnetic structures formed by a turbulent dynamo on the Sun. In the Sun,highly turbulent hot plasma flows stretch,twist,and fold magnetic field lines,resulting in magnetoconvection. Here,magnetic field lines form a 'carpet' of magnetic loops at a temperature of 6400 degrees Kelvin. This simulation is one of several Large-Eddy Simulations produced with the parallel 3D radiative magnetohydrodynamic code SolarBox,using NASA's Pleiades supercomputer. The simulation was featured at the SC13 supercomputing conference in November 2013 | |
