Numerical simulation of active regions of the Sun — •Jean Santos and Büchner Jörg — Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung, Max-Planck-Str.2, 37191, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany

We present first results of the numerical simulation of active regions of the Sun using a computer code in development that takes into account the complex structure of the coronal magnetic field in its relation to the photospheric sources, the inhomogeneity of the strongly structured plasma including the transition region and the coupling of ions to the neutral atoms in the chromosphere. Using this model we started to investigate the evolution of the solar corona above active regions at the surface of the Sun.
