The effect of density stratification on the resonant absorption of MHD waves in coronal loops
نویسندگان
چکیده
The standing quasi-modes of the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in a zero-β cylindrical magnetic flux tube that undergoes a longitudinal density stratification and radial density structuring are considered. The radial structuring is assumed to be a linearly varying density profile. Using the relevant connection formulae of the resonant absorption, the dispersion relation for the fast MHD body waves is derived and solved numerically to obtain both the frequencies and damping rates of the fundamental and first-overtone, k = 1, 2, modes of both the kink (m = 1) and fluting (m = 2) waves, where k and m are the longitudinal and azimuthal mode numbers, respectively.

A Study on the Excitation and Resonant Absorption of Coronal Loop Kink Oscillations
We study theoretically the issue of externally driven excitations of standing kink waves and their resonant absorption into torsionally polarized m=1 waves in the coronal loops in pressureless plasmas. We use the ideal MHD equations, for which we develop an invariant imbedding method available in cylindrical geometry. We assume a sinusoidal density profile at the loop boundary where the densi...

We present the Ðrst model of resonant heating of coronal loops that incorporates the dependence of the loop density on the heating rate. By adopting the quasi-static equilibrium scaling law o P Q5@7, where o is the density and Q is the volumetric heating rate, we are able to approximate the well-known phenomena of chromospheric evaporation and chromospheric condensation, which regulate the coro...
متن کاملNonlinear wave heating of solar coronal loops
Theheating ofmagnetically closed structures (loops) in the solar corona by the resonant absorption of incident waves is studied by means of numerical simulations in the framework of nonlinear resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). It is shown that the dynamics in the resonant layer is indeed very nonlinear for typical coronal parameters. The effect of the nonlinearity on the efficiency of the re...

Although, the hot solar corona was discovered more than sixty years ago, however, the exact dissipation mechanism that heats the corona is still unknown. Resonant absorption and damping of Alfven waves appear to be one of the major candidates in this respect. The corona is highly structured and inhomogeneous medium, containing a large number of discrete magnetic loops. In this paper a cylindr...
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...
