MHD simulation of mass injection: A mechanism for the formation of active region loops
Abstract
We have used a 2-D nonlinear MHD numerical code to simulate the formation and dynamic evolution of active regions loops subjected to mass injections at the footpoints. We also calculated the UV and X-ray signatures of the plasmas. We find that it is possible to form loops in a low beta plasma that occur in the solar active regions.
