Several magnetohydrodynamic simulations of coronal dynamics performed by the authors more than 10 years ago violated the solenoidality condition (∇mB = 0) for an "open" magnetic field topology. Using an improved code, the authors examine the effect on the physical validity of the numerical simulation for the case when solenoidality is deliberately violated as compared to the case when it is preserved. It is found that the error incurred in this specific case ("open" topology) in the energy density and in the plasma density profiles is rather small and, hence, does not invalidate the earlier conclusions concerning mass and wave motion.
