Simulations of solar magneto-convection Alexander V?gler Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany What is magneto-convection? The simulation code Simulations of photospheric magneto-convection Outlook What is magneto-convection? The simulation code Simulations of photospheric magneto-convection Outlook What is magneto-convection? Interaction between convective flows and magnetic field in an electrically well-conducting fluid High Reynolds numbers: nonlinear dynamics, structure and pattern formation Key processes Regimes of magneto-convection in the photosphere B increases: quiet Sun ? plage ? umbra horizontal scale of convection decreases convective energy transport decreases What is magneto-convection? The simulation code Simulation of photospheric magneto-convection Outlook Realistic solar simulations: what is required ? 3D full compressibility partial ionization non-local, non-grey radiative transfer open boundaries sufficiently big box (covering the relevant spatial scales) and: extensive diagnostic tools to compare with observations (continuum spectral line polarization diagnostics,  tracer particles, etc.) The MPAe/UofC Radiation MHD (MURAM) Code 3D compressible MHD cartesian grid 4th order centered spatial difference scheme explicit time stepping: 4th order Runge-Kutta MPI parallelized (domain decomposition) Non-grey treatment of radiative transfer frequencies are grouped into frequency bins according to the height in the atmosphere where ?? = 1 is reached Effect of line-opacities on directional heating/cooling: What is magneto-convection? The simulation code Simulations of photospheric magneto-convection Outlook Simulation of a solar plage region start convection without magnetic field initially vertical magnetic field introduced after convection has become quasi-stationary initial field strength: B0= 200
