The Heating of Solar Coronal Loops by Alfvén Wave Turbulence
In this paper we further develop a model for the heating of coronal loops by Alfvén wave turbulence (AWT). The Alfvén waves are assumed to be launched from a collection of kilogauss flux tubes in the photosphere at the two ends of the loop. Using a three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) model for an active-region loop, we investigate how the waves from neighboring flux tubes interact in t...
متن کاملRandom driven fast waves in coronal loops I. Without coupling to Alfvén waves
In this paper we study the time evolution of fast MHD waves in a coronal loop driven by footpoint motions in linear ideal MHD. We restrict the analysis to footpoint motions polarized normal to the magnetic flux surfaces such that the fast waves are driven directly. By supposing the azimuthal wave number ky to be zero, the fast waves are decoupled from the Alfvén waves. As a first step to real s...
متن کاملRandomly driven fast waves in coronal loops II. with coupling to Alfvén waves
We study the time evolution of fast magnetosonic and Alfvén waves in a coronal loop driven by random footpoint motions. The footpoint motions are assumed to be polarized normal to the magnetic flux surfaces in linear ideal MHD. De Groof et al. (1998) (Paper I) showed that the input energy is mainly stored in the body modes when the fast waves are decoupled from the Alfvén waves. Hence driving a...
متن کاملSlow magnetoacoustic waves in coronal loops
A theoretical model interpreting propagating disturbances of EUV emission intensity, recently observed in coronal loops, is constructed in terms of slow magnetoacoustic waves. The model is one-dimensional and incorporates effects of nonlinearity, dissipation due to finite viscosity and thermal conduction, and gravitational stratification of plasma in the loop. It has been found that, for the ob...
متن کاملPropagating magnetohydrodynamics waves in coronal loops.
High cadence Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) observations show that outward propagating intensity disturbances are a common feature in large, quiescent coronal loops, close to active regions. An overview is given of measured parameters of such longitudinal oscillations in coronal loops. The observed oscillations are interpreted as propagating slow magnetoacoustic waves and are un...
