Magnetic Flux Concentration by Siphon Flows in Isolated Magnetic Flux Tubes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2017
Abstract
Siphon flows along arched, isolated magnetic flux tubes, connecting photospheric footpoints of opposite magnetic polarity, cause a significant increase in the magnetic field strength of the flux tube due to the decreased internal gas pressure associated with the flow (the Bernoulli effect). These siphon flows offer a possible mechanism for producing intense, inclined, small-scale magnetic structures in the solar photosphere.
