We describe a numerical code to solve the equations for ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). It is based on an explicit finite difference scheme on an Eulerian grid, called the Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) scheme, which is a…

This paper is devoted to the study of the gravitational instability of a medium permeated by a uniform magnetic field along which a circularly polarized Alfven wave propagates. We concentrate on the case of perturbations purely transverse…
We study the nonlinear evolution of very oblique small-scale Alfv\'en waves with $k_\perp d_i\gtrsim 1$. At these scales, the waves become significantly compressive, unlike in MHD, due to the Hall term in the equations. We demonstrate that…
Perfectly matched layers are a very efficient and accurate way to absorb waves in media. We present a stable convolutional unsplit perfectly matched formulation designed for the linearized stratified Euler equations. However, the technique…
We show the existence, regularity and analyticity of solitary waves associated to the following equation \begin{eqnarray*} (u_t+u^{p}u_x+ \mathcal H\partial_x^2u+ \lambda \mathcal H\partial_y^2u)_x +\mu u_{yy}=0, \end{eqnarray*} where…
The small Alfv\'en number (denoted by $\varepsilon$) limit (one type of large parameter limits, i.e. singular limits) in magnetohydrodynamic (abbr. MHD) equations was first proposed by Klainerman--Majda in (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 34:…
Recently it was found that helical magnetized flows efficiently amplify Alfv\'en waves (Rogava et al. 2003, A&A, v.399, p.421). This robust and manifold nonmodal effect was found to involve regimes of transient algebraic growth (for purely…
Roughly speaking a solitary wave is a solution of a field equation whose energy travels as a localized packet and which preserves this localization in time. A solitary wave which has a non-vanishing angular momentum is called vortex. We…

Alfven wave dynamics in partially ionized plasmas of the solar atmosphere shows that there is indeed a cut-off wavenumber, i.e. the Alfven waves with wavenumbers higher than the cut-off value are evanescent. The cut-off wavenumber appears…
