Description
Summary:We give an overview of procedures to recover and simulate typical coronal static magnetic field topologies from given boundary data on the photosphere. Relatively simple analytical treatments allow for solutions representing magnetic structures that are invariant in one coordinate, and satisfying prescribed boundary conditions. Starting from elementary active regions in a form of localized sources/sinks of magnetic field lines on the photospheric level, we set up various composed boundary conditions which yield complex magnetic structures in the corona above.
