Magnetic flux lifting from the relaxation zone to the photospheric level
Abstract
The evolution of the oscillations of magnetic flux tubes in the relaxation zone and the lifting of magnetic flux from the relaxation zone to the photospheric level are investigated on the basis of a numerical solution of a nonlinear system of MHD equations. Rough estimates are made to determine the energy capacity of the relaxation zone in the solar dynamo. The heat transfer process is shown to be a major factor destroying the oscillation structure of magnetic fields in the relaxation zone.
