Numerical simulations of sunspot rotation driven by magnetic flux emergence
(University of St Andrews, 2017-06-23) - ThesisMagnetic flux continually emerges from the Sun, rising through the solar interior, emerging at the photosphere in the form of sunspots and expanding into the atmosphere. Observations of sunspot rotations have been reported ... -
On the theory of symmetric MHD equilibria with anisotropic pressure
(University of St Andrews, 2016) - ThesisIn this thesis we discuss the theory of symmetric MHD equilibria with anisotropic pressure. More specifically, we focus on gyrotropic pressures, where the pressure tensor can be split into components along and across the ... -
Numerical simulations of footpoint driven coronal heating
(University of St Andrews, 2016-06-24) - ThesisMagnetic field permeates the solar atmosphere and plays a crucial role in the dynamics, energetics and structures observed. In particular, magnetic flux tubes provide the structure for coronal loops that extend from the ... -
The formation and eruption of magnetic flux ropes in solar and stellar coronae
(University of St Andrews, 2015-11-30) - ThesisFlux ropes are magnetic structures commonly found in the solar corona. They are thought to play an important role in solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Understanding their formation and eruption is of paramount ... -
Propagation and damping of MHD waves in the solar atmosphere
(University of St Andrews, 2014-06-27) - ThesisQuasi-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, ...
