A magnetic flux tube may be considered both as a separate body and as a confined field. As a field, it is affected both by differential rotation ($Omega$-effect) and cyclonic convection ($alpha$-effect). As a body, the tube experiences not only a buoyant force, but also a dynamic pressure due to downflows above the tube. These two competing dynamic effects are incorporated into the $alpha$-$Omega$ dynamo equations through the total magnetic turbulent diffusivity, leading to a flux tube dynamo operating in the convection zone. We analyze and solve the extended dynamo equations in the linear approximation by adopting the observed solar internal rotation and assuming a downflow effect derived from numerical simulations of solar convection zone. The model reproduces: the 22-year cycle period; the extended butterfly diagram with the confinement of strong activity to low heliographic latitudes $|Phi|le 35^circ$; the evidence that at low latitudes the radial field is in an approximately $pi$ phase lag compared to the toroidal field at the same latitude; the evidence that the poleward branch is in a $pi/2$ phase lag with respect to the equatorward branch; and the evidence that most of the magnetic flux is present in an intermittent form, concentrated into strong flux tubes.

The scalar potential, time component vector potential and flux tube quark confinements are studied in this paper. We find that the predictions of scalar confinement and time component vector confinement are in considerable conflict with measured valu
es while the flux-tube confinement works well to explain the experimental data. We also study the relativistic flux tube model. From the comparison of the exact numerical solution with the analytic approximation solution for heavy-light mesons, we find that the solutions are much more in agreement with each other for higher excited states since the deep radial limit is better satisfied.
The variable magnetic field of the solar photosphere exhibits periodic reversals as a result of dynamo activity occurring within the solar interior. We decompose the surface field as observed by both the Wilcox Solar Observatory and the Michelson Dop
pler Imager into its harmonic constituents, and present the time evolution of the mode coefficients for the past three sunspot cycles. The interplay between the various modes is then interpreted from the perspective of general dynamo theory, where the coupling between the primary and secondary families of modes is found to correlate with large-scale polarity reversals for many examples of cyclic dynamos. Mean-field dynamos based on the solar parameter regime are then used to explore how such couplings may result in the various long-term trends in the surface magnetic field observed to occur in the solar case.
We present the analysis of an unusual failed eruption captured in high cadence and in many wavelengths during the observing campaign in support of the VAULT2.0 sounding rocket launch. The refurbished Very high Angular resolution Ultraviolet Telescope
(VAULT2.0) is a Ly$alpha$ ($lambda$ 1216 {AA}) spectroheliograph launched on September 30, 2014. The campaign targeted active region NOAA AR 12172 and was closely coordinated with the Hinode and IRIS missions and several ground-based observatories (NSO/IBIS, SOLIS, and BBSO). A filament eruption accompanied by a low level flaring event (at the GOES C-class level) occurred around the VAULT2.0 launch. No Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed. The eruption and its source region, however, were recorded by the campaign instruments in many atmospheric heights ranging from the photosphere to the corona in high cadence and spatial resolution. This is a rare occasion which enables us to perform a comprehensive investigation on a failed eruption. We find that a rising Magnetic Flux Rope-like (MFR) structure was destroyed during its interaction with the ambient magnetic field creating downflows of cool plasma and diffuse hot coronal structures reminiscent of cusps. We employ magnetofrictional simulations to show that the magnetic topology of the ambient field is responsible for the destruction of the MFR. Our unique observations suggest that the magnetic topology of the corona is a key ingredient for a successful eruption.
A magnetic flux tube may be considered both as a separate body and as a confined field. As a field, it is affected both by the cyclonic convection ($alpha$-effect) and differential rotation ($Omega$-effect). As a body, the tube experiences not only a
buoyant force, but also a dynamic pressure due to downflows above the tube. When these two dynamic effects are incorporated into the $alphaOmega$ dynamo equations, we obtain a dynamo operating in the convection zone. We analyze and solve the extended dynamo equations in the linear approximation by using observed solar internal rotation and assuming a downflow suggested by numerical simulations of the solar convection zone. The results produce: (i) the 22-year cycle period; (ii) the extended butterfly diagram; (iii) the confinement of strong activity to low heliographic latitudes $|Phi|le 35^circ$; (iv) at low latitudes the radial field is in an approximately $pi$ phase lag compared to the toroidal field at the same latitude; (v) the poleward branch is in a $pi/2$ phase lag with respect to the equatorward branch; (vi) most of the magnetic flux is present in a strongly intermittent form, concentraed into strong flux tubes; (vii) the magnetic field peaks at a depth of $r=0.96 R_{sun}$; (viii) total solar irradiance varies in phase with the solar cycle activity, having an amplitude of 0.1%; (ix) solar effective temperature varies in phase with the solar cycle activity, having an amplitude of 1.5 $^circ C$; and (x) solar radius also varies in phase with the solar cycle activity, having an amplitude of 20 mas. All these results are in agreement with the corresponding observations.
Solar activity cycle varies in amplitude. The last Cycle 24 is the weakest in the past century. Suns activity dominates Earths space environment. The frequency and intensity of the Suns activity are accordant with the solar cycle. Hence there are pra
ctical needs to know the amplitude of the upcoming Cycle 25. The dynamo-based solar cycle predictions not only provide predictions, but also offer an effective way to evaluate our understanding of the solar cycle. In this article we apply the method of the first successful dynamo-based prediction developed for Cycle 24 to the prediction of Cycle 25, so that we can verify whether the previous success is repeatable. The prediction shows that Cycle 25 would be about 10% stronger than Cycle 24 with an amplitude of 126 (international sunspot number version 2.0). The result suggests that Cycle 25 will not enter the Maunder-like grand solar minimum as suggested by some publications. Solar behavior in about four to five years will give a verdict whether the prediction method captures the key mechanism for solar cycle variability, which is assumed as the polar field around the cycle minimum in the model.
