Abstract
We present, in graphical form, some results from numerical simulations of the solar granulation. We compare synthetic granulation images with observations of the solar granulation, and illustrate the corresponding pressure and velocity fields. In particular, the non-adiabatic part of the pressure fluctuation, which is a major source of stochastic excitation of P-modes, is shown.
