Abstract
In this contribution, we present the simulations of convective plasma cells of the Sun in two dimensions. With a simple stream function, it is possible to visualize multiple n × n convective cells. To obtain the simulation, we solve the magnetic diffusion equation with a fourth order scheme. Some applications for this simulations are also presented.
