Alfvén‐Fast Wave Coupling in a 2D Nonuniform Medium

Abstract A 2D Cartesian simulation is presented and used to solve the ideal, low‐beta, linear magnetohydrodynamics equations. A simulation is used to investigate the propagation of Alfvén waves through inhomogeneities in Alfvén speed and density. In particular, the loss of Alfvén wave energy through...
