We investigate numerically the time evolution of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations in a coronal loop, focusing on the dynamics due to both phase mixing and turbulent cascade. The intensity, doppler velocity and non-thermal broadening…

Observations show that transverse magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and flows are often simultaneously present in magnetic loops of the solar corona. The waves are resonantly damped in the Alfv\'en continuum because of plasma and/or magnetic…
