Numerical Modelling of Waves in the Solar Atmosphere

The Sun generates and plays host to innumerable acoustic and magnetic waves. These waves have the ability to propagate through the layers of the Sun and are responsible for transferring energy into the solar atmosphere and beyond. Throughout their journey, these waves can become trapped in cavities; develop into shock waves; transfer energy between wave types; and even create quakes on the surface of the Sun. This study investigates these phenomena through the use of high performance supercomputing. A variety of simulations in multiple dimensions are produced to accurately model these waves and their interactions in solar like atmospheres.
