Two visualizations of the initiation of the TDm flux rope in the solar wind model. The left panel shows the global magnetic field of the solar wind with white streamlines. The sphere corresponds to the inner limit of the simulation domain r = R_⊙ and the colors correspond to B_r. Blue means B_r < 0 and red B_r > 0. The right panel shows a zoomed-in view of the TDm flux rope. The colored streamlines correspond to the magnetic field lines of the flux rope starting from a circle of radius 0.9a chosen at the footpoints of the flux rope in the negative polarity. The transparent red-yellow slice shows (with J = ∇ × B the current density) in the plane perpendicular to the torus plane. The yellow ring shows the annular distribution of the current specific to case 1 of the TDm.
