Switchbacks: solar jets could hold the key to understanding complete reversals of magnetic fields

Simulation domains and magnetic topology. Top left: 3D volume of the domain of the simulation containing the root block of the grid. Bottom left: 2D cross section at constant angle ϕ = 0° of the velocity collar at t = 5500 s. This snapshot highlights the spatial distribution of velocity. Grid block boundaries are indicated by gray lines. Each block…
