Resonant absorption in dissipative flux tubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the resonant absorption of MHD waves in magnetized flux tubes with a radial density inhomogeneity. Within the approximation that resistive and viscous processes are operative in thin layers surrounding the singularities of the MHD equations, we give the full spectrum of the eigenfrequencies and damping rates of the MHD quasi modes of the tube. Both surface and body modes are analyzed.

Dynamics of nonlinear resonant slow MHD waves in twisted flux tubes
Nonlinear resonant magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are studied in weakly dissipative isotropic plasmas in cylindrical geometry. This geometry is suitable and is needed when one intends to study resonant MHD waves in magnetic flux tubes (e.g. for sunspots, coronal loops, solar plumes, solar wind, the magnetosphere, etc.) The resonant behaviour of slow MHD waves is confined in a narrow dissipativ...
متن کاملSlow surface wave damping in plasmas with anisotropic viscosity and thermal conductivity
This paper studies the damping of slow surface MHD waves propagating along the equilibrium magnetic field on a finite-thickness magnetic interface. The plasma is assumed to be strongly magnetised, and the full Braginskii’s expressions for viscosity and the heat flux are used. The primary focus of the paper is on the competition between resonant absorption in the thin dissipative layer embracing...
متن کاملResonant flow instability of MHD surface waves
We study the effect of velocity shear on the spectrum of MHD surface waves. A nonuniform intermediate region is taken into account, so that the surface wave can be subject to resonant absorption. In order to deal in a mathematically and also physically consistent manner with the resonant wave excitation, we analytically derive the dissipative solution around the resonant surface in resistive MH...
متن کاملDissipative Interaction and Anomalous Surface Absorption of Bulk Phonons at a Two-Dimensional Defect in a Solid
We predict an extreme sensitivity to the dissipative losses of the resonant interaction of bulk phonons with a 2D defect in a solid. We show that the total resonant reflection of the transverse phonon at the 2D defect, described earlier without an account for dissipation, occurs only in the limit of extremely weak dissipation and is changed into almost total transmission by relatively weak bulk...
متن کاملHydrogen bonds in Al2O3 as dissipative two-level systems in superconducting qubits
Dissipative two-level systems (TLS) have been a long-standing problem in glassy solids over the last fifty years, and have recently gained new relevance as sources of decoherence in quantum computing. Resonant absorption by TLSs in the dielectric poses a serious limitation to the performance of superconducting qubits; however, the microscopic nature of these systems has yet to be established. B...
