In the highly structured solar corona, resonant absorption is an unavoidable mechanism of energy transfer from global transverse MHD waves to local azimuthal Alfv\'en waves. Due to its localised nature, a direct detection of this mechanism…

The arched field lines forming coronal arcades are often observed to undulate as magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves propagate both across and along the magnetic field. These waves are most likely a combination of resonantly coupled fast…

In coronal loop modeling, it is commonly assumed that the loops are semi-circular with a uniform cross-sectional area. However, observed loops are rarely semi-circular, and extrapolations of the magnetic field show that the field strength…

An enhancement in high-frequency acoustic power is commonly observed in the solar photosphere and chromosphere surrounding magnetic active regions. We perform 3D linear forward wave modelling with a simple wavelet pulse acoustic source to…

The solar atmosphere may be heated by Alfven waves that propagate up from the convection zone and dissipate their energy in the chromosphere and corona. To further test this theory, we consider wave heating in an active region observed on…

The heating of the solar chromosphere and corona to the observed high temperatures, imply the presence of ongoing heating that balances the strong radiative and thermal conduction losses expected in the solar atmosphere. It has been…

We model the hydrodynamic evolution of the plasma confined in a coronal loop, 30000 km long, subject to the heating of nanoflares due to intermittent magnetic dissipative events in the MHD turbulence produced by loop footpoint motions. We…
