ABSTRACT: Observations indicate that various dynamic solar phenomena lead to enhanced emission of electromagnetic waves from radio to X-ray wavelengths which can be traced to magnetic activity in the photospheric level. A number of previous investigations have ignored the dynamic responses in the solar atmosphere. On the other hand, Nakagawa et al. (1978, 1981) have studied the atmospheric responses in the frame of MHD in the supersonic super-Alfvenic region. Studies of the slowly varying dynamic response (subsonic) have been unsuccessful because of the requirements of high accuracy in the numerical scheme in which a rigorous mathematical treatment of the boundary conditions is necessary. Recently, a numerical MHD model was constructed by using the full implicit continuous eulerian method. The present investigation makes use of a method which is written in a more convenient numerical code. A two-dimensional, time-dependent, nonplanar MHD model is used to investigate the induced mass and wave motions in the lower solar atmosphere due to the shear motion of flux tubes.

ABSTRACT: A new ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model is used to examine the dynamical response of the upper solar atmosphere to the injection of cold mass from the photosphere, a surge perturbation. Theoretical results show that mass ejections from the photosphere will form loop structures with internally-moving plasma blobs, which is due to the mass injections from both legs in active regions leading to a reflection of waves at the top of the loop. The mass-loaded loop will remain as long as ejection continues, and will excite MHD waves propagating outward to the upper atmosphere, which may trigger a class of coronal disturbances.
