WAVE PROPAGATION AND JET FORMATION IN THE CHROMOSPHERE

A Study of Alfvén Wave Propagation and Heating the Chromosphere

Alfvén wave propagation, reflection, and heating of the chromosphere are studied for a one-dimensional solar atmosphere by self-consistently solving plasma, neutral fluid, and Maxwell’s equations with incorporation of the Hall effect and strong electron–neutral, electron–ion, and ion–neutral collisions. We have developed a numerical model based on an implicit backward difference formula of seco...

Pattern Formation and Wave Propagation in the Belousov-Zhabotinskii Reaction

Wave propagation theory in offshore applications

A frequency-wavenumber-domain formulation is presented in this paper for calculation of the Green's functions and wave propagation modes in a stratified fluid body underlain by a layered viscoelastic soil medium. The Green's functions define the solid and fluid displacements and fluid pressures due to uniform disk loads acting in either the soil or fluid media. The solution is in the frequency ...

Wave Propagation in Micropolar Thermoelastic Diffusion Medium

The present investigation is concerned with the reflection of plane waves from a free surface of a micropolar thermoelastic diffusion half space in the context of coupled theory of thermoelastic diffusion. The amplitude ratios of various reflected waves are obtained in a closed form. The dependence of these amplitude ratios with an angle of propagation as well as other material parameter are sh...

On the Propagation of P-modes into the Solar Chromosphere

We employ tomographic observations of a small region of plage to study the propagation of waves from the solar photosphere to the chromosphere using a Fourier phase-difference analysis. Our results show the expected vertical propagation for waves with periods of 3 minutes. Waves with 5-minute periods, i.e., above the acoustic cut-off period, are found to propagate only at the periphery of the p...
