چکیده

In this paper the equations for Alfvh waves are examined and conditions necessary for the occurrence of resonance are determined. An experiment using liquid sodium inside a torus is described. Waves were generated by means of alternating current supplied to a coil around the torus. A strong resonance was observed at the fundamental frequency, and a weak resonance at three times this frequency. At the fundamental resonance the alternating magnetic field attained magnitudes more than 9 times the magnitude of the field that would have been generated in free space by the exciting current. The results were in good agreement with prediction.

A Study of Bit Condition for Generation Rx -Mode Waves: Interaction of Particles with Z/UH-Mode Waves

Interactions of charge particles with electromagnetic waves have important effects (linear and nonlinear) on the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and it can somewhat play a role in generation of the new mode waves. Besides, the particle energies can play an important role in causing instability in plasma. The values of parallel energy of the particles have been calculated so that they can ...

A simulation study of RX-mode waves generation in the equatorial plasmasphere

The generation mechanism of RX-mode waves in the equatorial plasmasphere has not been well understood. The Akebono passing through the storm time geomagnetic equator shows the possibility of the local enhancement of RX-mode waves in association with intense Z-mode waves in the equatorial region. We use the initial parameters inferred from observational data from around the plasma-wave generatio...

Numerical Simulation of Random Irregular Waves for Wave Generation in Laboratory Flumes

Understanding of wave hydrodynamics and its effects are important for engineers and scientists. Important insights may be gained from laboratory studies.  Often the waves are simulated in laboratory flumes do not have the full characteristics of real sea waves. It is then necessary to present reliable methods of wave generation in wave flumes.  In this paper, the results of numerically simulate...

Generation of Alfvén Waves by Small-Scale Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Spicules

Alfvén waves dissipation is an extensively studied mechanism for the coronal heating problem. These waves can be generated by magnetic reconnection and propagated along the reconnected field lines. Here, we study the generation of Alfvén waves at the presence of both steady flow and sheared magnetic field in the longitudinally density stratified of solar spicules. The initial flow is assumed to...

The Deterministic Generation of Extreme Surface Water Waves Based on Soliton on Finite Background in Laboratory

This paper aims to describe a deterministic generation of extreme waves in a typical towing tank. Such a generation involves an input signal to be provided at the wave maker in such a way that at a certain position in the wave tank, say at a position of a tested object, a large amplitude wave emerges. For the purpose, we consider a model called a spatial-NLS describing the spatial propagation o...
