Large-scale magnetic structures of coronal mass ejections

Based on the studies on the source regions of a group of coronal mass ejections, we have identified two types of large-scale magnetic structures, and suggested that they are intrinsic components of solar magnetism, their destabilization, expansion, and eruption into the interplanetary space are the basic physical processes which lead to the coronal mass ejections. These two types of large-scale structures are giant magnetic loops connecting the two active belts on the opposite hemispheres of the Sun, and the giant filaments (filament channels) and their related magnetic structures. The latter often appear as two parallel rows of sunspots and plage fields, which align side by side in the full disk daily and synoptic magnetograms. The magnetic neutral lines of these large-scale structures are usually longer than 50 heliographic degrees. We name this type of structure "super A configuration". Sometimes, they are shown as very long filaments and related large-scale magnetic fields. As these magnetic structures are of very large scale, they extend to a great altitude into the corona, they are not easily recognized in magnetic field observations which are usually aimed at solar flare studies. To identify these large-scale structures becomes a key to understanding and predicting coronal mass ejections.     

NND格式在理想磁流体方程组中的应用

针对守恒型磁流体力学方程组（MHD）和流体力学方程组（HD）通量项不同特点,提出了一种能够采用无振荡、无自由参数（NND）格式离散MHD方程组的通量分裂方法,并首先在一维模型方程中验证了方法的可行性,进一步全三维离散了MHD方程组,在轴对称盔形磁场位形太阳风流动的数值试验中,选取46个太阳半径（Rs)的计算域,其中能够反映行星际空间物理参数在径向有大到8－9个量级变化的特点。计算结果表明针对气动力学跨音速流动的NND格式可以推广到磁体力学方程组中,并有很好的稳定性。
