项目摘要

The Solar Physics and Space Plasma Research Centre (SP2RC) at the University of Sheffield seeks to understand the nature of key plasma processes occurring in the solar interior, near-solar surface and the atmosphere of the Sun, from photosphere to corona, with particular attention devoted to the various coupling mechanisms of these apparently distinct regions. A large part of the energy flux released in the solar atmosphere travels into interplanetary space and impacts on the Earth's bow shock, energising the magnetosphere and having impact of our daily human life. The generation of energetic events in the solar interior and near solar sub-surface region and their propagation through the solar interior-atmosphere-space plasma system will be investigated by using mathematical modelling and the analysis of latest available satellite and ground-based datasets. Particular attention is paid to the wave coupling processes in this complex and very dynamic physical system.Our mathematical approach involves rigorous analytical work and the implementation of parallel computing (GRID and CUDA-enabled technology) where results will be tested and verified by making and using space (SOHO, TRACE, Hinode, SDO) and ground-based (Swedish Solar Telescope, Dunn Solar Telescope) observations. The proposed programme involves five scientific projects: 1) Magnetic features and local helioseismology; 2) New generation solar magnetoseismology: Opening avenues in solar physics; 3) The driver of coronal physics: 3D forward modelling from low solar atmosphere to corona; 4) Advanced theory of transverse oscillations of coronal loops; and 5) Multi-scale theory and self-organisation of the Sun and other stars. The programme also has a vibrant and vital Visiting Researchers project.We request funding to cover salaries of the RAs, appropriate costs for research leadership/management and research time for the Principal Investigator and four Co-Investigators, funding for a special project-related observational PhD studentship in order to train a future generation of experts in the field, funding for a modest but essential visitor programme, for travel & subsistence, computing equipment and consumables.

谢菲尔德大学太阳物理和空间等离子体研究中心（SP2RC）致力于了解太阳内部、近太阳表面和太阳大气（从光球层到日冕）中发生的关键等离子体过程的性质，特别关注致力于这些明显不同区域的各种耦合机制。太阳大气中释放的能量通量的很大一部分进入行星际空间并影响地球的弓形激波，为磁层提供能量并影响我们的日常生活。将通过数学建模以及对最新可用卫星和地面数据集的分析，研究太阳内部和近太阳次表面区域高能事件的产生及其通过太阳内部大气空间等离子体系统的传播。我们特别关注这个复杂且非常动态的物理系统中的波耦合过程。我们的数学方法涉及严格的分析工作和并行计算的实施（GRID 和 CUDA 技术），其中结果将通过制作和使用来测试和验证太空（SOHO、TRACE、Hinode、SDO）和地面（瑞典太阳望远镜、邓恩太阳望远镜）观测。拟议计划涉及五个科学项目：1）磁特征和当地日震学； 2）新一代太阳磁震学：开辟太阳物理学的新途径； 3）日冕物理驱动力：从低太阳大气层到日冕的3D正演建模； 4）冠状环横向振荡的先进理论； 5）太阳和其他恒星的多尺度理论和自组织。该计划还有一个充满活力和重要的访问研究人员项目。我们请求资金来支付 RA 的工资、首席研究员和四名联合研究员的研究领导/管理和研究时间的适当费用、为与特殊项目相关的观察提供资金博士生奖学金旨在培养该领域的未来一代专家，为适度但重要的访客计划、旅行和生活、计算设备和消耗品提供资金。
