    The magnetic flux expands horizontally when the magnetic field
    emerges into the photosphere, because the velocity is estimated
    by assuming that the kinetic energy is equal to the magnetic energy.
    
    Lifetime ~ 10-30min, Velocity ~ 10km/s(sound velocity)
    
    The velocity was estimed:
    
    rho v^2 ~ B^2/(8pi) ... kinetic energy is balanced to magnetic energy
    :
    Pv^2/Cs^2 ~ B^2/(8pi) (rho=P/Cs^2) 
    v^2 ~ B^2/(8pi P) Cs^2 ~ 1/beta Cs^2
      --->  mistake ?
    
    Now let's think what has determined the expand velocity ?
    
    Next figure is hint ???
    
    grad B^2/(8pi) + grad rho v^2 + grad P + rho g + B^2/(4pi R) = constant

    By means of magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we study nonlinear
    evolutions of the magnetic buoyancy instability such as the Parker
    instability in a gravitationally stratified magnetized gas layer.
    You will set up initial conditions for the Galaxy or for the Sun,
    and simulate the growth of the instability. We discuss how the
    magnetic loops created by the instability will actually be observed.
