Nonlinear MHD Waves in the Solar Wind Plasma Structures
D. Tsiklauri, V. M. Nakariakov, T. D. Arber
We investigate the interaction of magnetohydrodynamic waves with plasma density inhomogeneities. Our numerical study of the full MHD equations shows that: (A) Plasma density inhomo…

Non-resonant nonlinear coupling of magnetohydrodynamic waves in inhomogeneous media
V. M. Nakariakov, D. Tsiklauri, T. D. Arber
A new mechanism for the enhanced generation of compressible fluctuations by Alfven waves is presented. A strongly nonlinear regime of Alfven wave phase-mixing is numerically simula…
