摘要
We review recent progress and define unanswered scientific questions in five related topics: granulation- to supergranulation-scale convection and magnetic structures; global convection and circulation; the rise of magnetic flux tubes to the photosphere, and their injection into the base of the convection zone; tachocline fluid dynamics and MHD; and the solar dynamo. We close with a set of observational 'targets' for helioseismologists to aim for.
