Vortices, shocks, and heating in the solar photosphere: effect of a magnetic field

by R. Moll, R. H. Cameron, and M. Schüssler, A&A 541, A68

This paper highlights the difference of the energy deposition and transport in magnetic and non-magnetic regions on the solar surface. While moving shock fronts dominate in the non-magnetic parts, highly magnetized small-scale vortices induce substantial local heating and govern the flow structures in the magnetic parts.
