    • Propagation and damping of MHD waves in the solar atmosphere 

      Kiddie, Greg (University of St Andrews, 2014-06-27) - Thesis
      Quasi-periodic disturbances have been observed in the outer solar atmosphere for many years. Although first interpreted as upflows (Schrijver et al. (1999)), they have been widely regarded as slow magneto-acoustic waves, ...

    • On the properties of single-separator MHS equilibria and the nature of separator reconnection 

      Stevenson, Julie E. H. (University of St Andrews, 2015-06-26) - Thesis
      This thesis considers the properties of MHS equilibria formed through non-resistive MHD relaxation of analytical non-potential magnetic field models, which contain two null points connected by a generic separator. Four ...

    • MHD simulations of coronal heating 

      Tam, Kuan V. (University of St Andrews, 2014-12-01) - Thesis
      The problem of heating the solar corona requires the conversion of magnetic energy into thermal energy. Presently, there are two promising mechanisms for heating the solar corona: wave heating and nanoflare heating. In ...

    • On the topology of global coronal magnetic fields 

      Edwards, Sarah J. (University of St Andrews, 2014-12-01) - Thesis
      This thesis considers the magnetic topology of the global solar corona. To understand the magnetic topology we use the magnetic skeleton which provides us with a robust description of the magnetic field. To do this we use ...

    • Vortical control of forced two-dimensional turbulence 

      Fontane, Jerome Jacob Louis; Dritschel, David Gerard; Scott, Richard Kirkness (2013-01-14) - Journal article
      A new numerical technique for the simulation of forced two-dimensional turbulence[D. Dritschel and J. Fontane, “The combined Lagrangian advection method,” J. Comput. Phys.229, 5408–5417 (Year: 2010)10.1016/j.jcp.2010.03.048] ...
