Description
The nonlinear development of the kink instability in a horizontal
magnetic flux tube with a field strength exceeding the equipartition
value lying initially in the deep convective zone is calculated. A
Lagrangian numerical code is developed to obtain solutions for the
system of equations dictating the evolution of a thin magnetic flux tube
in a stratified medium. The relevance of this calculation to the
understanding of active region formation and solar activity cycle is
considered.
