The aim of this research program is the establishment of the               physical mechanisms underlying the magnetically dominated energy-               conversion processes that drive solar-terrestrial activity.                     Significant progress in developing two new computer codes for the               treatment of MHD instabilities in sheared magnetic fields has                   been made.  This grant will extend both the physical accuracy and               solar applications of the computer experiments.  It is intended                 to add more realistic boundaries, dissipative and gravitational                 effects, and a full third dimension.  These powerful simulation                 instruments will be used to detail the saturation process for                   flare reconnection, the final equilibrium state of a filament and               its stable magnetic-support mechanism, the efficiency of Alfven                 wave heating, and the acceleration dynamics of coronal mass                     ejections.  These studies are motivated by the desire to                        understand related phenomena in the wider universe of                           astrophysics, and by the need to predict their consequences in                  the solar-terrestrial system.
