Partially-ionised two-fluid shocks with collisional and radiative ionisation and recombination -- multi-level hydrogen model

B. Snow, M. Druett, A. Hillier

Explosive phenomena are known to trigger a wealth of shocks in warm plasma environments, including the solar chromosphere and molecular clouds where the medium consists of both ion…

Nonlinear wave damping by Kelvin-Helmholtz instability induced turbulence

Andrew Hillier, Iñigo Arregui, Takeshi Matsumoto

Magnetohydrodynamic kink waves naturally form as a consequence of perturbations to a structured medium, for example transverse oscillations of coronal loops. Linear theory has prov…

Zonostrophic instabilities in magnetohydrodynamic Kolmogorov flow

Azza M Algatheem, Andrew D Gilbert, Andrew S Hillier

This paper concerns the stability of Kolmogorov flow u = (0, sin x) in the infinite (x,y)-plane. A mean magnetic field of strength B0 is introduced and the MHD linear stability pro…

The role of cooling induced by mixing in the mass and energy cycles of the solar atmosphere

Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow, Inigo Arregui

In many astrophysical systems, mixing between cool and hot temperature gas/plasma through Kelvin-Helmholtz-instability-driven turbulence leads to the formation of an intermediate t…

Shocks and instabilities in the partially ionised solar atmosphere

Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow

The low solar atmosphere is composed of mostly neutral particles, but the importance of the magnetic field for understanding observed dynamics means that interactions between charg…

Connecting theory of plasmoid-modulated reconnection to observations of solar flares

Andrew Hillier, Shinsuke Takasao

The short timescale of the solar flare reconnection process has long proved to be a puzzle. Recent studies suggest the importance of the formation of plasmoids in the reconnecting…
