Description
Solar prominences are composed of many threads of cool and dense plasma suspended in the million-degree solar corona. We have constructed a 3D time-dependent model of a prominence from 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 will show the evolving properties of our model prominence and compare the results with data from telescopes onboard the SOHO, STEREO, and Hinode satellites.
