Alfvén waves at low magnetic Reynolds number: Transitions between diffusion, dispersive Alfvén waves and nonlinear propagation

Samy Lalloz, Laurent Davoust, François Debray +1

This paper seeks whether Alfvén waves (AW) can be produced in laboratory-scale liquid metal experiments, \emph{i.e.} at low-magnetic Reynolds Number ($Rm$). AW are incompressibl…
