Abstract: | In this paper, dynamic processes in the solar atmosphere are studied numerically from a complete set of MHD equations. Dynamic evolution of the non-linear magnetic field is produced by the finite amplitude of the azimuthai magnetic field at the base of the flux tube of the solar atmosphere. It is assumed that the initial configuration of the magnetic field is a force-free and potential field, the magnetic field is disturbed at the base, the plasma is driven and a part of the magnetic energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of the plasma.The compressed flow of the plasma has the features of fast MHD waves. The computation results give quantitatively the non-linear evolution of strong magnetic fields. These results could be used in an explanation of coronal transients, surge, spray and eruptive prominence events in the solar atmosphere, as well as in a modelling of plasma behaviour in high-β structure experiments in the laboratory. |
