Cellular Automata Models and Mhd Approach in the Context of Solar Flares
نویسنده
چکیده
We address in detail the cellular automaton approach, developed for the case of solar flares, and compare it to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory. We consider solar flares as typical complex dynamical systems and we are interested in their global dynamical behavior, through their statistical properties.

A Solar Flare Model in between Mhd and Cellular Automaton
The last decade several cellular automata (CA) models have been developed in order to explain the solar flare statistics derived from observations. These models simulate the storage/release process using simple evolution rules, neglecting the details of the processes. The main advantage of this approach is the treatment of a large number of elementary energy release events (avalanches) and the ...
متن کاملSolar flare cellular automata interpreted as discretized MHD equations
We show that the Cellular Automaton (CA) model for Solar flares of Lu and Hamilton (1991) can be understood as the solution to a particular partial differential equation (PDE), which describes diffusion in a localized region in space if a certain instability threshold is met, together with a slowly acting source term. This equation is then compared to the induction equation of MHD, the equation...
متن کاملDerivation of Solar Flare Cellular Automata Models from a Subset of the Magnetohydrodynamic Equations
Cellular automata (CA) models account for the power-law distributions found for solar flare hard X-ray observations, but their physics has been unclear. We examine four of these models and show that their criteria and magnetic field distribution rules can be derived by discretizing the MHD diffusion equation as obtained from a simplified Ohm’s law. Identifying the discrete MHD with the CA model...
متن کاملThe study of solar flares with the extended cellular automaton (X-CA) model
We have developed a new type of cellular automaton (CA) model, the extended CA (X-CA), for the study of solar flares. The X-CA model is consistent with the MHD approach, in contrast to the previously proposed CA models (classical CAs), it consistently yields all the relevant physical variables, and it successfully reproduces the observed distributions of total energy, peak flux, and duration of...
