Description
Magnetic flux emergence is a very important process in
renewing the magnetic field of the solar corona. As new
magnetic flux emergence from below the photosphere and
reaches in to the corona, the situation for magnetic
reconnection are setup in the battle for space between
the old coronal magnetic field and the new emerging magnetic
field. Numerical MHD experiments investigate this with
a simple initial conditions containing the basic components
for this situation is used to investigate the different
types of magnetic reconnection that takes place during
this process. A number of internal magnetic reconnection
events in the emerged flux tube initiate eruptions
that propels plasma clouds upwards in the coronal domain.
In this talk we discuss the different reconnection scenarios
that take place in this experiment.
