    • Energy-balance models of the solar corona 

      Wragg, M. A. (University of St Andrews, 1982) - Thesis
      Solar coronal observations have shown that the corona has a highly complex structure which presumably owes its existence to the magnetic field. Models in thermal and hydrostatic equilibrium are here calculated in order to ...

    • Three-dimensional topology of solar coronal magnetic fields 

      Brown, Daniel Stephen (University of St Andrews, 1999) - Thesis
      This thesis investigates the topology of the magnetic field in the solar corona. It is important have an understanding of how the highly complex coronal magnetic field behaves in order to study many fundamental coronal ...

    • Hysteresis and mode competition in Faraday waves 

      Decent, Stephen Paul (University of St Andrews, 1996) - Thesis
      Faraday waves arise on the surface of a liquid in a container that is undergoing vertical periodic oscillations. We investigate two-dimensional Faraday waves in a long rectangular container, both theoretically and ...

    • External and internal magnetohydrostatic models of quiescent solar prominences 

      Cartledge, Nicholas P. (University of St Andrews, 1996) - Thesis
      Quiescent solar prominences are amongst the most interesting and yet least understood of the phenomena observed on the Sun and provide both the theorist and the observer with equally demanding challenges. The theoretical ...

    • Dynamical processes in the solar atmosphere 

      Cargill, P. (Peter) (University of St Andrews, 1982) - Thesis
      It has become clear that the closed-field regions of the solar atmosphere are not static (as was once thought) but that many types of steady and unsteady flows and other dynamical, processes such as flares are continually ...
