摘要：

The application of supercomputers and advanced numerical techniques to problems of coronal structure and dynamics is described. Numerical methods appropriate for the long time scale simulation of nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic systems are discussed. Three specific examples of the application of these techniques to the solar corona are given. These are magnetic energy storage and conversion, a model for steady coronal heating, and calculation of stable force-free equilibria from given boundary data, such as that obtained with a vector magnetograph. It is suggested that the continued application of these methods will result in substantial advances in the understanding of coronal dynamics and structure. © 1990.
