Abstract:Context. Thermal conductivity is one of the important mechanisms of heat transfer in the solar corona. In the limit of strongly magnetized plasma, it is typically modeled by Spitzer's expression where the heat flux is aligned with the magnetic field. Aims. This paper describes the implementation of the heat conduction into the code MANCHA3D with an aim of extending singlefluid MHD simulations from the upper convection zone into the solar corona. Methods. Two different schemes to model heat conduction are imple… Show more
