FLASH - a tool for surgery of solar plasma

Abstract

The universe has always been object of our fascination. Because the Sun is our nearest star naturally a long time ago it became an object of our extensive observations. Nowadays, investigations of the Sun are carried by means of observations and theoretical modeling. Unfortunately, due to their intrinsic complexity most of theoretical models cannot be solved analytically. As a consequence, we adopt FLASH which is a modular parallel computation, adaptive mesh refinement, hierarchical data format code capable of solving magnetohydrodynamic equations. In this paper the FLASH code is applied to simulate oscillations in coronal loops.
