Theoretical <strong>an</strong>d numerical modelling of solar eruptions<br />

Török Tibor<br />

LESIA, Observatoire de Paris<br />

Large-scale solar eruptions are the most violent energy release processes in the solar system<br />

<strong>an</strong>d the main driver of Space Weather disturb<strong>an</strong>ces. They are observed as flares, CMEs, <strong>an</strong>d<br />

filament (or prominence) eruptions. It is now widely accepted that these three phenomena are<br />

not independent, but constitute different observational m<strong>an</strong>ifestations of a more global<br />

process, namely a sudden large-scale disruption of the coronal magnetic field. While a<br />

"st<strong>an</strong>dard model" for the main ( flare) phase of such eruptions is now well established (often<br />

referred to as CSHKP Model), the mech<strong>an</strong>isms which trigger <strong>an</strong>d drive eruptions in the first<br />

place are still not fully un<strong>der</strong>stood. In this talk, I will review current theoretical models for the<br />

initiation <strong>an</strong>d acceleration of solar eruptions, with emphasis on the consi<strong>der</strong>able progress<br />

obtained by numerical MHD simulations in recent years. In particular, I will discuss to what<br />

extent the models overlap, <strong>an</strong>d briefly outline how they might converge in the coming years to<br />

a "st<strong>an</strong>dard model" for the initiation <strong>an</strong>d acceleration of solar eruptions.
