Table A.2.
Possible scaling for the different plasma β simulations using constant atmospheric temperature T0 (in K) and time t0 (in s), while varying the volume magnetic field B0 (in G). The other quantities are: length L0 (in Mm), pressure P0 (in Pa), density ρ0 (in kg m−3), velocity V0 (in km s−1), Alfvén speed cA (in km s−1), sound speed cS (in km s−1), and energy E0 (in J).
