Stability of a flux tube model for prominences
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the stability of a flux tube model for quiescent solar prominences. The main result is that the configurations are stable only up to a critical width (defined as the extension of the central part of the flux tube with prominence matter at low temperatures) of about 1 000 km to 3 000 km. The dependence of the critical width on the prominence parameters height, temperature, density contrast, external magnetic field, external gas pressure and external temperature is analysed. The normal modes and eigenfrequencies obtained numerically cover the range of observational data for prominence oscillations.

The Effect of Linear Change of Tube Diameter on Subcooled Flow Boiling and Critical Heat Flux
One of the major industry problems is the flow boiling, where reaching to the critical heat flux (CHF) condition can lead to a temperature jump and damage of the systems. In the present study, the effects of a uniform change in tube diameter on subcooled flow boiling and CHF was numerically investigated. The Euler-Euler model was used to investigate the relationship between the two liquid and v...
متن کاملPartially-erupting prominences: a comparison between observations and model-predicted observables
Aims. To investigate several partially-erupting prominences to study their relationship with other CME-associated phenomena and to compare these observations with observables predicted by a model of partially-expelled flux ropes (Gibson & Fan, 2006a, b). Methods. We have studied 6 selected events with partially-erupting prominences using multi-wavelength observations recorded by the Extremeultr...

In this paper, Turbulent mixed convective heat transfer of water and Al2O3 nanofluid has been numerically studied in a horizontal tube under non-uniform heat flux on the upper wall and insulation in the lower wall using mixture model. For the discretization of governing equations, the second-order upstream difference scheme and finite volume method were used. The coupling of pressure and veloci...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic Waves in a Partially Ionized Filament Thread
Oscillations and propagating waves are commonly seen in high-resolution observations of filament threads, i.e., the fine-structures of solar filaments/prominences. Since the temperature of prominences is typically of the order of 104 K, the prominence plasma is only partially ionized. In this paper, we study the effect of neutrals on the wave propagation in a filament thread modeled as a partia...
متن کاملExperimental Study on the Effect of Magnetic Field on Critical Heat Flux of Ferrofluid Flow Boiling in a Vertical Tube
In the present work, the critical heat flux measurements were performed for the subcooled flow boiling of pure water and magnetic nanofluids (i.e., water + 0.01 and 0.1 vol.% Fe3O4) in a vertical tube. The effect of applying an external magnetic field on the CHF variation was studied experimentally as well. The obtained results indicated that the subcooled flow boiling CHF in the vertical tub...
