Objectives
• Complement Flux Emergence Simulations of coherent, twisted flux tubes by using minimally structured field -> horizontal, uniform, untwisted in inflows at bottom
• Investigate formation and structure of sunspots• Provide synthetic data for validating local
helioseismology and vector magnetograph inversion procedures
• Investigate nature of supergranulation

Numerical Method• Spatial differencing
– 6th-order finite difference– staggered (5th order interpolation)
• Time advancement– 3rd order, low memory Runga-Kutta
• Equation of state– tabular – including ionization, excitation– H, He + abundant elements
• Radiative transfer– 3D, LTE– 4 bin multi-group opacity

Simulation set up
• Vertical boundary conditions: Extrapolate lnρ; Velocity -> constant @ top, zero derivative @ bottom; energy/mass -> average value @ top, extrapolate @ bottom;
• B tends to potential field @ top,• Horizontal Bx0 advected into domain by inflows
@bottom (20 Mm), 2 cases: Bx0 = 5 & 20kG• f-plane rotation, latitude 30 deg• Initial state – non-magnetic convection.

Questions:• Currently rising magnetic flux is given the same
entropy as the non-magnetic plasma, so it is buoyant. What entropy does the rising magnetic flux have in the Sun? Need to compare simulations with observations for clues.
• What will the long term magnetic field configuration look like? Will it form a magnetic network? Need to run for several turnover times (2 days).
• What is the typical strength of the magnetic field at 20 Mm depth? Again, need to compare long runs with observations for clues.
• Do we need to go to larger horizontal dimensions?
