The equilibrium shape of a slender flux tube in the stratified solar atmosphere is studied. The path is determined by a balance between the downwards magnetic tension, which depends on the curvature of the loop, and the upwards buoyancy force. Previous results for untwisted slender tubes are extende
The presence of surface tension for interfacial flows usually leads to severe stability constraints for explicit time integration methods. Moreover, the nonlocality and nonlinearity of the high-order terms make the application of implicit methods difficult. In this paper, a computational strategy is
## Abstract We present recent 3βD MHD numerical simulations of the nonβlinear dynamical evolution of magnetic flux tubes in an adiabatically stratified convection zone in spherical geometry, using the anelastic spherical harmonic (ASH) code.We seek to understand the mechanism of emergence of strong
