SynCOM: A tool for simulating coronal outflows
Abstract
SynCOM is a package of procedures written in IDL (Interactive Data Language) that simulates transient solar wind flows. Each function within SynCOM handles specific tasks, such as initializing parameters, generating synthetic profiles, creating Gaussian blobs to represent solar wind features, and producing high-resolution images of the solar corona. This modular design allows users to call or customize individual functions independently, providing flexibility to adjust simulations to different observational or solar wind conditions. The software architecture is designed to facilitate SynCOM, which effectively creates synthetic datasets for testing and verifying feature tracking algorithms. It also takes advantage of the robust capabilities of the IDL for high-performance scientific computing
