Cross-sections of the magnetic field at various times for five representative simulations, representing the path taken by the flux tube all along its rise. Panel a is a plot of two simulations with the same (same regime): the green contours correspond to a strongly buoyant flux tube in a rapidly rotating interior (labeled a.1 in Table B.1), and the red contours correspond to a weakly buoyant flux tube in a slowly rotating interior (labeled a.2 in Table B.1). Panels b, c, and d show the dependence of the path on , in three different simulations.
