Description
Solar prominences are cool and dense plasma suspended in the
million-degree solar corona. Recent observations reveal that prominences
are composed of fine and highly dynamic threads aligned with the local
magnetic field. We have constructed a 3D time-dependent model of a
prominence combining a magnetic field structure with 1D independent
simulations of many flux tubes. The 3D magnetic field is taken from an
adaptive MHD simulation of a sheared double-arcade filament channel. We
use the thermal non-equilibrium model for the plasma evolution. We study
different parametrization of the heating function, and with the results
of our simulations we produce synthetic emission images of the whole
prominence and the overlying loops. We show the evolving properties of
our model and compare the results with data from telescope onboard
satellites SOHO, STEREO, Hinode, and the recently launched SDO.
