Penetration to the Earth's surface of standing Alfvén waves excited by external currents in the ionosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 The problem of boundary conditions for monochromatic Alfvén waves, excited in the magnetosphere by external currents in the ionospheric E-layer, is solved analytically. Waves with large azimuthal wave numbers m»1 are considered.

Behavior of Torsional Alfven Waves and Field Line Resonance on Rotating Magnetars [PDF]
, 2005 Torsional Alfven waves are likely excited with bursts in rotating magnetars. These waves are probably propagated through corotating atmospheres toward a vacuum exterior.

Alfven wave studies on PRETEXT [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1985 The properties of low frequency Alfven waves in hot, magnetically confined plasmas are quite unlike those in homogeneous media. Extensive theoretical studies have uncovered the Alfven continuum along with global Alfven eigenmodes (GAE). It has been suggested that such modes may be good candidates for rf heating below the ion cyclotron frequency.

The role of torsional Alfven waves in coronal heating [PDF]
, 2009 In the context of coronal heating, among the zoo of MHD waves that exist in the solar atmosphere, Alfven waves receive special attention. Indeed, these waves constitute an attractive heating agent due to their ability to carry over the many different ...

Self-similar evolution of Alfven wave turbulence [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2017 Summary: We study self-similar solutions of the kinetic equation for MHD wave turbulence derived in [\textit{S. Galtier} et al., ``A weak turbulence theory for incompressible magnetohydrodynamics'', J. Plasma Phys. 63, No. 5, 447--488 (2000; \url{doi:10.1017/s0022377899008284})].

Coupling Between Alfvén Wave and Kelvin–Helmholtz Waves in the Low Latitude Boundary Layer
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability of magnetohydrodynamic surface waves at the low latitude boundary layer is examined using both an eigenfrequency analysis and a time-dependent wave simulation.

Evolution of Alfven wave-driven solar winds to red giants [PDF]
, 2007 In this talk we introduce our recent results of global 1D MHD simulations for the acceleration of solar and stellar winds. We impose transverse photospheric motions corresponding to the granulations, which generate outgoing Alfven waves. The Alfven waves

Ion acceleration by parallel propagating nonlinear Alfvén wave packets in a radially expanding plasma [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2014 The numerical simulation of the nonlinear evolution of the parallel propagating Alfvén waves in a radially expanding plasma is performed by using a kinetic-fluid model (the Vlasov–MHD model). In our study, both the nonlinear evolution of the Alfvén waves

, 2013 Ion-neutral collisions may lead to the damping of Alfven waves in chromospheric and prominence plasmas. Neutral helium atoms enhance the damping in certain temperature interval, where the ratio of neutral helium and neutral hydrogen atoms is increased ...

Experimental Generation of Plasma Alfven Waves
Physical Review Letters, 1959 Alfven has postulated the existence of hydromagnetic waves to explain certain sunspot phenomena. An experiment is described in which an effort was made to generate and detect such waves. (A.C.)
