Realistic radiative MHD simulations are important tool for understanding
the structure and dynamics of the solar photosphere and the near-surface
convection. There is a number of numerical codes designed specifically for
that type of simulations (MURaM, STAGGER, Co5Bold, Bifrost and others).
Here we present the first convection simulations performed with the MANCHA
code developed by the SPIA team of the IAC (Khomenko et al.). The code
solves the quasi-MHD equations (including ambipolar diffusion) together
with the non-grey radiative transfer equation and the realistic equation of
state. We describe the details of the MANCHA code and show examples of it
application to different problems of the solar atmosphere. |
