چکیده
Abstract The behavior of current density accumulation around the sharp gradient magnetic field structure or a 3D null point and with presence finite plasma pressure is investigated. It has to be stated that in this setup, fan plane locates at xy spine axis aligns along z -axis.

MHD Mode Conversion around a 2D Magnetic Null Point
Mode conversion occurs when a wave passes through a region where the sound and Alfvén speeds are equal. At this point there is a resonance, which allows some of the incident wave to be converted into a different mode. We study this phenomenon in the vicinity of a twodimensional, coronal null point. As a wave approaches the null it passes from lowto high-β plasma, allowing conversion to take pla...
متن کاملNonlinear Wave Propagation Through Cold Plasma
An exciting and extremely active area of research investigation during the past years has been the study of solitons and the related issue of the construction of solutions to a wide class of nonlinear equations. The concept of solitons has now become umbiquitous in modern nonlinear science and indeed can be found in various branches of physics. In nonlinear wave propagation through continuous m...
متن کاملNonlinear Fast Magnetoacoustic Wave Propagation in the Neighbourhood of a 2D magnetic X-point: Oscillatory Reconnection
Context. This paper extends the models of Craig & McClymont (1991) and McLaughlin & Hood (2004) to include finite β and nonlinear effects. Aims. We investigate the nature of nonlinear fast magnetoacoustic waves about a 2D magnetic X-point. Methods. We solve the compressible and resistive MHD equations using a Lagrangian remap, shock capturing code (Arber et al. 2001) and consider an initial con...
متن کاملMHD wave propagation in the neighbourhood of a two-dimensional null point
The nature of fast magnetoacoustic and Alfvén waves is investigated in a zero β plasma. This gives an indication of wave propagation in the low β solar corona. It is found that for a two-dimensional null point, the fast wave is attracted to that point and the front of the wave slows down as it approaches the null point, causing the current density to accumulate there and rise rapidly. Ohmic dis...
متن کاملShear Alfvén wave perpendicular propagation from the kinetic to the inertial regime.
We report on observations of shear Alfvén waves radiated from a source of small transverse size, and the subsequent radial confinement of wave magnetic field energy within a cylindrical plasma. The radius of confinement lies between the kinetic regime of the bulk plasma and the inertial regime at the plasma edge; this radius is found to be a function of wave frequency. Numerical calculations us...
