A study of the physical mechanisms for filament eruption and coronal mass ejection via numerical simulation

During this period of performance (1 Jan. 1992 - 31 Dec. 1992), the investigation of the following tasks was accomplished: (1) application of the Non-linear Force-free Field (NLFF) Model to study the active region evolution; (2) coronal dynamical responses due to emerging flux including the transition region; (3) loss of MHD equilibrium due to footpoint motions; and (4) two-dimensional MHD global coronal model: steady-state streamers. The detailed description of these studies are included.
