The effects of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of the magnetosphere
(University of St Andrews, 1999) - ThesisIn this thesis, the behaviour of Kelvin-Helmholtz unstable modes on the magnetospheric flanks and in the magnetotail are investigated. A model of a straight bounded magnetosphere connected to a semi-infinite field-free ... -
Relaxation methods in compressible flow

New aspects of particle acceleration in collapsing magnetic traps
(University of St Andrews, 2014-01) - ThesisCollapsing magnetic traps (CMTs) have been suggested as one of the mechanisms that could contribute to particle energisation in solar flares. The basic idea behind CMTs is that charged particles will be trapped on the ... -
Theory of one-dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell equilibria : with applications to collisionless current sheets and flux tubes
(University of St Andrews, 2017-12-07) - ThesisVlasov-Maxwell equilibria are characterised by the self-consistent descriptions of the steady-states of collisionless plasmas in particle phase-space, and balanced macroscopic forces. We study the theory of Vlasov-Maxwell ... -
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 ...
