We demonstrate a validation of two 3D MHD models of the corona by comparing density values from solar rotational tomography (SRT) to densities and morphological properties of the two MHD solutions for CR 2029 (2005 April 21-May 18). The two MHD models are given by the Stanford and Michigan models, a...
