2 What are MHD waves? How do we communicate in MHD? MHD is kind! MHD waves are propagating perturbations of magnetic field, plasma velocity and plasma mass density, described by the MHD (single fluid approximation) set of equations, which connects the magnetic field B, plasma velocity v, kinetic pressure p and density ρ. Non-relativistic approximation
3 Do we expect solar MHD waves? Corona has frozen in field condition Magnetic field rooted into turbulent photosphere Generates waves that dump energy in corona Alfvén/(Slow/Fast) Magneto-acoustic waves
4 Do we see MHD waves? SOHO/TRACE examples (mainly TR and higher)
5 Do we see MHD waves? - Moreton waves
6 Do we see MHD waves? Sun quakes Solar quakes: high energy electrons slam the solar surface
7 Do we see MHD waves? Surfing magnetic loops Example: Rapid (every 15 s) TRACE 171 Angstrom image Track changes in brightness Wave travels outwards from B to T
8 Do we see MHD waves? Surfing magnetic loops Difference image in brightness out from the loop base
9 Linear theory of MHD waves Static/steady stationary background Superimpose linear motions on this background Write physical quantities as f(r,t)=f (r)+f 1 (r,t); f 1 / f <<1 Reduce full set of nonlin PDEs of MHD to a set of ODEs Choice: initial value problem, boundary value problem, eigenvalue problem Eigenvalue problem of linear waves/oscillations: exp(iωt)
10 Linear theory of MHD waves Linearised ideal MHD equations ρ t 1 + ρ = V1 V t B B µ ( B ) B + µ ρ = p1 + B t p = ( V ) 1 1 B 1 = cs ρ1 cs = γp /, ρ
11 Linear MHD waves in uniform plasma No characteristic length scale defined by the equilibrium Constant equilibrium magnetic field, e.g. B Superposition of linear waves = B sinαx + B cosαy exp(ik x x + ik y y + ik z z), k=(k x, k y, k z )=wave vector
12 Linear MHD waves in uniform plasma z B α k z x Characteristic speeds: Alfvén speed sound speed v A = B πρ 1/ (4 ) c s = ( γp ρ 1/ / )
13 Linear MHD waves in uniform plasma Consider dynamics of perturbations of this stationary state. In the linear limit, the set of MHD equation splits into two uncoupled subsets: (i) for the variables V y and B y (Alfvén wave) (ii) and for ρ, p, V x, V z and B x (magnetoacoustic waves)

19 Linear MHD waves in uniform plasma Alfvén waves When B z there can be two linearly polarized plane Alfvén waves, one perturbing V y, B y and the other V x, B x. For harmonic perturbations [exp(iωt -kz)] combination of two linearly polarized waves gives us elliptically polarized Alfvén waves: B y B x = Acos( ωt kz), = Bsin( ωt kz), A, B = const
20 Linear MHD waves in uniform plasma Alfvén waves The vector of the magnetic field perturbation rotates along an ellipse at the x,y-plane. When A = B, the wave is circularly polarized, with B =const. Circularly polarized Alfvén waves (even of finite amplitude) are an exact solution of the ideal MHD equations for a uniform plasma

32 Linear MHD waves in non-uniform plasma Characteristic length scale defined by the inhomogeneity Equilibrium quantities are functions of position Continuum of resonant Alfvén and slow waves Discrete slow and fast modes; discrete Alfvén modes Efficient damping in non-ideal MHD MHD waves with mixed character and wave transformation
33 Linear theory of MHD waves Original MHD theory by e.g., Edwin & Roberts (1983) modelled a flux tube as a magnetic cylinder. It was found that there are many different types of MHD waves, e.g., fast/slow magneto-acoustic modes in magnetically twisted cylinder (Erdélyi & Fedun 1). Courtesy Verwichte
34 Linear MHD waves in non-uniform plasma Properties of MHD waves depend upon the angle between the wave vector and the magnetic field è waves "feel" the direction of the field. When the magnetic field is not straight, Alfvén and slow waves should follow the field, because they are confined to the field. Even when the field is straight, inhomogeneities in the field absolute value, density and pressure affect the characteristic speeds of the waves (the Alfvén and the sound speeds) and, consequently, affect the waves. è Guided propagation of MHD waves, linear coupling of different MHD modes, phase mixing of Alfvén waves, resonant absorption, appearance of wave dispersion, etc.

38 Linear MHD waves in non-uniform plasma Consider: δ/δy=, though V y, B y (i.e..5d) Alfvén modes [perturbing V y, B y ] Magnetoacoustic modes [perturbing V x, V z, B x, B z, ρ ]
39 Linear MHD waves in non-uniform plasma Magnetoacoustic modes are governed by: d dx Λ( x) m ( x) dv dx x Λ( x) V x =, Λ( x) = ρ( x)[ ω kz va( x)], m ( kz vs ω )( kz va ω ) ( x) =, ( v + v )( k v ω ) A s z T + B.C.s=eigenvalue problem. Eigenfunctions define transversal (x) structure of waves; eigenvalues define dispersion for waves. Singularities: Alfvén ω / k ( ) { z = va x resonances! Cusp ω / k z = vt ( x)
40 Linear MHD waves in non-uniform plasma Magnetoacoustic modes Evanescent solutions: modes or trapped or guided (or ducted) waves; Dispersion is determined by the ratio of the longitudinal wavelength to the characteristic spatial scale of inhomogeneity. The modes can have different structures in x direction (inhomogeneity), which allows us to classify them: kink and sausage modes (perturbing or not perturbing the structure axis, respectively) body and surface modes (oscillating or evanescent inside the structure, respectively, and both evanescent outside the structure)
