Most recently, a simulated coronaltransient in the form of an erupting flux rope
(in the SAIC MHD coronal model) was coupled to a solar wind model (from Odstrcil et al. 2002a)
to produce a full Sun-to-L1 simulation of a CME-like event. The picture at the upper left
links to a movie of the 2D version. In the picture on the lower left, adaptive mesh refinement
has been introduced in a 2D simulation of interacting interplanetary flux ropes (from Odstrcil et al. 2002b),
simulating what is sometimes called a "cannibalistic" CME event.
