Abstract
The numerical modeling of the solar corona and of its dynamical
phenomena has experienced significant progress in recent years.
Present magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations can be run on
large spherical grids, include a realistic description of the
energy transfer (thermodynamics) in the corona, and are capable
of incorporating photospheric measurements as boundary condition
for the magnetic field. These capabilities now allow us to model
the large-scale magnetic field and plasma distribution of the
corona, as well as transient eruptive phenomena such as jets and
coronal mass ejections (CMEs) with unprecedented realism. In this
talk, I will review some of these simulations and briefly discuss
the next steps that lie ahead.
