Hall MHD waves: A fundamental departure from their MHD counterparts
arXiv:2409.14129 · doi:10.1063/5.0227375
Abstract
It is demonstrated through a succinct derivation as to how the linear waves in Hall magnetohydrodynamics (HMHD) constitute a fundamental departure from the standard MHD waves. Apart from modifying the conventional MHD spectrum, the Hall current induces a distinct and new branch consisting of purely circularly polarized waves that may become the representative shear waves.
