Description
We model the emergence of buoyant magnetic flux from the convection zone
into the photosphere by means of 3D radiative MHD simulations using the
MURaM code. In a series of simulations, we study how an initially
buoyant magnetic flux tube rises in the presence of granular convection.
The simulations take into account the effects of radiative energy
exchange, ionization effects in the equation of state and
compressibility. An emphasis of this talk is the comparison of
observational diagnostics from the simulations with recent observations
from Hinode SOT.
