Alfvén wave phase mixing in two-dimensional open magnetic configurations
The phase mixing of Alfvén waves in planar twodimensional open magnetic plasma configurations is considered. It is assumed that the characteristic vertical spatial scale of the configuration is much larger than the horizontal scale, and that the latter is of the order of a wavelength. The WKB method is used to derive the governing equation for the wave amplitude, which in appropriate coordinate...
متن کاملWave Mixing and Electromagnetic Wave Scattering in Plasmas
Kinetic and tluid treatments of nonlinear wave interactions (wave mixing and electromagnetic wave scatrering) in plasmas are considered and the difference between the two approaches is discussed. Solving the kinetic equation by the method of moments makes it possible to substantiate the validity and find the applicability range of the fluid approach to the study of nonlinear plasma processes. I...
متن کاملWave Energy Dissipation Using Perforated and Non Perforated Piles
The indispensable vital structure in any harbor is a breakwater in order to make available calm water region inshore. Pile breakwater can be employed as a small coastal protection structure where tranquility required is low. This study is concerned with CFD study on the performance of perforated hollow pile to dissipate wave energy and the novelty of this investigation is the role of perforatio...
متن کاملASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Heating of coronal holes by phase mixing
A two-dimensional, analytical, self-similar solution to the Alfvén wave phase mixing equations is presented for a coronal hole model. The solution shows clearly that the damping of the waves with height follows the scaling predicted by Heyvaerts & Priest 1983 at low heights, before switching to an algebraic decay at large heights. The ohmic dissipation is calculated and it is shown that the max...
متن کاملMagnetic Flux Cancellation and Coronal Magnetic Energy
I investigate the processes at work in the cancellation of normal magnetic flux in solar magnetograms and study the relationships between cancellation and the budget of free magnetic energy in the coronal magnetic field that can power solar flares and CMEs. After defining cancellation mathematically, I derive equations that quantify the evolution of free magnetic energy in response to arbitrary...
