Energy release in a solar coronal bright point region obtained through a new parallel implementation of LINMOD3D — •Eric Adamson1, Jörg Büchner1, and Antonius Otto2 — 1Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany — 2Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks,USA
LINMOD3D is a numerical simulation code for the investigation of the solar coronal plasma dynamics. Due to the strong inhomogeneities and interscale coupling effects inherent to the system, large grids and parallel computing are required in order to ensure proper numerical solution of the field and fluid equations. LINMOD3D has recently been optimized for its more efficient use on parallel computer architectures. This improvement allows a high spatial resolution and a stable run to track a long evolution of the solar atmosphere. We present results of LINMOD3D simulations addressing the effects of various parameter variations on the energy budget of the solar corona.
