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.

谢菲尔德大学太阳物理和空间等离子体研究中心（SP2RC）致力于了解近太阳表面发生的关键等离子体过程的性质，特别关注从光球层到日冕的太阳大气层、太阳风和磁气层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。将通过使用数学和数值模型以及对最新的可用卫星和地面数据集。特别关注这个复杂且非常动态的物理日地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（GRID 和 CUDA 支持技术）的实施，其中结果将通过制作和使用空间（SOHO、TRACE、Hinode、SDO、IRIS、Cluster、THEMIS）和地面进行测试和验证基于（瑞典太阳望远镜、邓恩太阳望远镜）的观测。拟议的计划涉及八个科学项目： 1）原纤维磁场对 p 模式传播的影响； 2）太阳大气中的扭结波能量传输和耗散； 3）3D MHD波正演建模：局域大气波导和射流； 4) 太阳低层大气中MHD模式及其绝对/相对能量通量的ROSA/IBIS分类研究； 5）先进的太阳大气MHD波建模； 6) 随机日冕全球波作为全球日冕地震学的手段； 7) 1AU内无碰撞激波的形成、结构和演化； 8) 内磁层等离子体波的新研究。该计划还有一个充满活力且至关重要的访问研究人员项目。我们请求提供资金来支付 RA 的工资、首席研究员和八名联合研究员的研究领导/管理和研究时间的适当费用、为两个与特殊项目相关的观察性博士生提供资金，以培训未来一代的专家该领域，为一个适度但重要的访问研究计划提供资金，用于旅行和生活、计算设备和消耗品。
