Generation of Flows in the Solar Chromosphere Due to Magnetofluid Coupling

Abstract

It is shown that a generalized magneto-Bernoulli mechanism can effectively generate high velocity flows in the Solar chromosphere by transforming the plasma pressure energy into kinetic energy. It is found that at reasonable heights and for realistic plasma parameters, there is a precipitous pressure fall accompanied by a sharp amplification of the flow speed.
