In order to shed light on the occurrence of recurrent flares and subsequent associated CMEs, we study the active region NOAA 11283 where recurrent M and X GOES-class flares and CMEs occurred. 
We use vector magnetograms taken by HMI/SDO to calculate the horizontal velocity fields of the photospheric magnetic structures, the shear and the dip angles of the magnetic field, the magnetic helicity flux distribution, and the Poynting fluxes across the photosphere due to the emergence and the shearing of the magnetic field. 

We used full-disk line-of-sight magnetograms taken by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to study the variation of coronal magnetic helicity in the Active Region (AR) NOAA 11429, where several GOES M- and X-class flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) occurred. The magnetic flux, total magnetic-helicity flux, and helicity accumulation over the period of interest, i.e. 6 to 11 March 2012, were measured and are discussed. We also evaluated the tilt-angle evolution within the standard polarity flux-weighted centroids approach.
