To produce strong flux concentrations, there has to be a
downflow that pulls gas down. Since the flow is constrained
to be along field lines, there must be inflow from above and
the sides, which concentrates the field further. Thermal
convection associated with the hierarchical nature of the
supergranulation may be one such mechanism. Another one is
the negative effective magnetic...
