MHD simulation of tearing-thermal instability
Date:
Lightning talk at the yt Workshop 2025, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Abstract. Thanks to the MPI-AMRVAC frontend, we use yt to analyse magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the solar atmosphere. In this talk, we demonstrate the use of yt in a simulation of a solar coronal current sheet, which is susceptible to both tearing and thermal instability. With a combination of several yt functionalities, like slice plots and time series analysis, we obtain a full picture of the simulation’s behaviour.
