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 near-solar surface, the atmosphere of the Sun from photosphere to corona, solar wind and magnetosphere 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 into solar wind and magnetosphere driving Space Weather will be investigated by using mathematical and numerical 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 Sun-Earth 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, IRIS, Cluster, THEMIS) and ground-based (Swedish Solar Telescope, Dunn Solar Telescope) observations. The proposed programme involves eight scientific projects: 1) The effect of fibril magnetic fields on the propagation of p-modes; 2) Kink wave energy transport and dissipation in the solar atmosphere; 3) 3D MHD wave forward modelling: Localised atmospheric waveguides and jets; 4) ROSA/IBIS classification study of MHD modes and their absolute/relative energy flux in the lower solar atmosphere ; 5) Advanced solar atmospheric MHD wave modelling; 6) Stochastic coronal global waves as means for global coronal seismology; 7) The formation, structure and evolution of collisionless shocks inside 1AU; and 8) Novel investigations of plasma waves in the inner magnetosphere. 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 eight Co-Investigators, funding for two special project-related observational PhD studentship in order to train the future generation of experts in the field, funding for a modest but essential Visitor Researcher Programme, for travel & subsistence, computing equipment and consumables.

谢菲尔德大学的太阳能物理和太空等离子体研究中心（SP2RC）试图理解在近晶表面发生的关键等离子体过程的性质，从光球到电动机，太阳能风和磁层的太阳大气，特别注意这些显而易见的区域各种偶数机制。太阳大气中释放的很大一部分能量通量会进入星际空间，并影响地球的弓形冲击，使磁层充满活力并影响了我们日常的人类生活。太阳能内部和太阳次面积区域中的能量事件产生以及它们通过太阳能内部大气空间等离子体系统传播到太阳风和磁层驱动空间天气中的传播，并使用数学和数值建模以及对最新可用卫星和地面数据集的分析进行研究。在这个复杂且非常动态的物理阳光系统中，特别注意波耦合过程。我们的数学方法涉及严格的分析工作以及并行计算的实施（网格和启用CUDA技术），在其中将通过制作和使用空间（SOHO，TRACE，HINODE，HINODE，SDO，SDO，IRIS，IRIS，TEMIS，THEMIS）和基于地面的（Swedish Solar TheScope，Dunn Solar solar telescope）来测试和验证结果。提出的计划涉及八个科学项目：1）原纤维磁场对P模型传播的影响； 2）太阳大气中的纠结波能传输和耗散； 3）3D MHD波向前建模：局部大气波导和喷气机； 4）ROSA/IBIS分类研究MHD模式及其在下太阳大气中的绝对/相对能量； 5）高级太阳大气MHD波建模； 6）随机冠状全球波作为全球冠状动脉学的手段； 7）1AU内部无碰撞冲击的形成，结构和演变； 8）内部磁层中血浆波的新研究。该计划还拥有一个充满活力且重要的访问研究人员项目。我们要求资金以支付RAS的薪水，研究领导力/管理的适当费用以及主要研究人员和八名共同投票人员的研究时间，为两个与项目相关的特殊观察博士学位学生提供资金，以培训该领域的未来一代专家，并为一项适度但必不可少的访客研究人员提供资金，用于旅行和资产，计算设备和计算设备和计算设备和计算设备。
