Research:

My main research interests are three-dimensional simulations of convection and magneto-convection in the sun, and one-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamics of waves and non-equilibrium radiation in the solar atmosphere.

Convection and Magneto-Convection Results

Averages of sound speed, density, internal energy, temperature and velocity for the 96 Mm wide x 20 Mm deep simulation are found in 96averages.

Slices at continuum optical depths 1, 0.1, 0.01 of velocity, density, magnetic field plus the emergent intensity at 30 sec intervals and 4 hour averages of sound speed, density, internal energy, temperature, velocity and magnetic field for the 48 Mm wide x 20 Mm deep MHD simulation are found in mhd48-10 for 10 kG horizontal field advected into the domain by upflows at the bottom, and in mhd48-20 for the case of 20 kG horizontal field advected into the domain by upflows at the bottom.

Dancing:

I enjoy a wide variety of dancing : contras and squares, english, scandinavian and balkan. I also call contra and traditional square dances.

In the Lansing area we have contra and square dances on the first and third Saturdays of each Month from September through June usually at the Central United Methodist Church, 215 N. Capitol Ave. Lansing.

For information on dances see the dance calendar or call: The Ten Pound Fiddle Hot Line 517-337-7744 and the Michigan Dance Hotline 734-332-9024.
