Objectives: 
  • Exploración de una descripción novedosa del plasma de la atmósfera solar que incluye una aproximación multi-fluido.
Methodology: 

El bajo nivel de ionización en la fotosfera y cromosfera del sol conlleva diferencias sobre el tratamiento clásico magneto-hidrodinámico de su atmósfera.  El código desarrollado en este proyecto permite hacer simulaciones de las regiones sub-fotosférica y fotosférica del sol, hasta la cromosfera baja, con un realismo no conseguido en el pasado.
