Self-Organization Processes on the Sun: The Heliosynergetics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
Abstract Non-linear interactions between small fluid elements, magnetized or otherwise, in an energetically open nonlinear system facilitate the formation of large coherent stable structures. This is knwon as self-organization. We interpret solar granulation on all scales and the formation and evolution of some structures in solar active regions to be the result of self-organization processes occuring in a turbulent medium.
