In this area, I am interested in;
- Influence of magnetic fields on convection
- Structure and stability of flux tubes
- Formation of pores and sunspots

Example of the linear stability of an axisymmetric flux tube. This box
represents a quarter of a nearly axisymmetric flux tube, with the axis of
rotation in green along the edge of the box. The vertical magnetic field
strength is represented in orange, and the kinetic energy of an exponentially
growing mode is shown in the blue scale. The radial structure, reminiscent of
the filamentary structure of sunspot penumbrae, is a result of
the choice of numerical domain.
