- We report on 3D radiation-hydrodynamics modelling of the non-magneticsolar atmosphere with emphasis on the problem of the acoustic heating ofthe chromosphere. Our models include the generation of acoustic waves inthe uppermost layers of the solar convection zone their propagationthrough the photospheric layers and their ultimate transformation intoshock fronts which are dissipated in the chromospheric layers. In thechromosphere we find a bimodal temperature distribution consisting of acool non-shocked and hot shocked gas component. The hot gas is locatedin small-scale filamentary structures associated with propagating shockfronts which evolve rapidly in time. The detailed spatial and temporalinformation provided by the models can be exploited to predictobservational diagnostics hitherto unavailable. We present syntheticimages of features in the millimetre and sub-millimetre radio continuumpotentially observable by the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA).
