Abstract
In this chapter, we show our development of numerical code. The detailed setting for calculations in the solar convection zone is introduced. The near-surface region (\(>\) \(0.98R_\odot \)) is included for the solar global convection calculation for the first time. Our new challenge for including the partial ionization effect of Hydrogen and Helium is explained. In order to deal with large number of CPUs in the huge parallel computer, we adopt efficient parallelizaion method, Peano-Hilbert space-filling curve and Yin-Yang grid. These are explained. Finally the method for analyzing the huge size data outputted by the calculations are introduced.
