Description
We present numerical simulations with MPI-AMRVAC of solar prominences, embedded in a realistically stratified solar atmosphere. The prominences show vigorous nonlinear magnetoconvective motions, as their density contrast triggers Rayleigh-Taylor/interchange instability dynamics. We present virtual SDO/AIA views, and contrast our findings with observational ones.
