Abstract

The topological properties of the typical current structures in a turbulent magnetohydrodynamic flow can be measured using the cancellations analysis. In two-dimensional numerical simulations, this reveals current filaments being the most typical current structures. The observations of the topology of photospheric current structures within active regions shows that modifications occur correspondingly with strong flares.
