MHD simulations of the solar photosphere    [PDF]

M. Rieutord, F. Rincon, T. Roudier

We briefly review the observations of the solar photosphere and pinpoint some open questions related to the magnetohydrodynamics of this layer of the Sun. We then discuss the current modelling efforts, addressing among other problems, that of the origin of supergranulation.
