Scientific paper

The solar granulation was simulated by two-dimensional, time-dependent numerical fluid dynamics solutions. These solutions are in agreement with granule observations and indicate that granules are buoyantly rising bubbles created in the region of the sun near 8000 K where density inversions commonly occur in one-dimensional hydrostatic solar models. A simple physical explanation of the granulation is presented.
