We present a new global model of the solar corona, including the low corona, the transition region and the top of chromosphere. The realistic 3D magnetic field is simulated using the data from the photospheric magnetic field measurements.…

There is a growing evidence that extended radio halos are most likely generated by electrons reaccelerated via some kind of turbulence generated in the cluster volume during major mergers. It is well known that Alfv\'en waves channel most…

We used our newly developed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code to perform 2.5D simulations of a fast-mode MHD wave interacting with coronal holes (CH) of varying Alfv\'en speed which result from assuming different CH densities. We find that…

Identifying the heating mechanisms of the solar corona and the driving mechanisms of solar wind are key challenges in understanding solar physics. A full three-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation was conducted to…
