Phase mixing has long been understood to be a viable mechanism for expediting the dissipation of Alfv\'en wave energy resulting in the subsequent heating of the solar atmosphere. To fulfil the conditions necessary for phase mixing to occur,…
Corrected analytical solutions describing the enhanced phase mixing of Alfven waves propagating in divergent stratified coronal structures are presented. These show that the enhanced phase mixing mechanism can dissipate Alfven waves at…
Phase-mixing of Alfv\'en waves in the solar corona has been identified as one possible candidate to explain coronal heating. While this scenario is supported by observations of ubiquitous oscillations in the corona carrying sufficient wave…
In the solar atmosphere, the chromospheric and coronal plasmas are much hotter than the visible photosphere. The heating of the solar atmosphere, including the partially ionized chromosphere and corona, remains largely unknown. In this…
Certain regions of the solar atmosphere are at sufficiently low temperatures to be only partially ionised. The lower chromosphere contains neutral atoms, the existence of which greatly increases the efficiency of the damping of waves due to…
Context: This paper investigates the effectiveness of phase mixing as a coronal heating mechanism. A key quantity is the wave damping rate, $\gamma$, defined as the ratio of the heating rate to the wave energy. Aims: We investigate whether…
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…
Alfvenic waves are thought to play an important role in coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. Here we investigate the dissipation of such waves due to phase mixing at the presence of shear flow and field in the stratified atmosphere…
Alfvenic waves are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere and their dissipation may play an important role in atmospheric heating. In the partially ionized solar chromosphere, collisions between ions and neutrals are an efficient dissipative…
Alfv\'en waves are widely believed to play an important role in the transport of energy from the solar photosphere to the corona through the partially ionized chromosphere. In previous work, the properties of torsional Alfv\'en waves were…
Aims. We investigate the formation of small scales and the dissipation of MHD wave energy through non-linear interactions of counter-propagating, phase-mixed Alfvenic waves in a complex magnetic field. Methods. We conducted fully 3-D,…
Context. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere. In magnetic waveguides resonant absorption due to plasma inhomogeneity naturally transfers wave energy from large-scale motions to small-scale motions. In the…
Phase mixing of Alfv\'en waves has been studied extensively as a possible coronal heating mechanism but without the full thermodynamic consequences considered self-consistently. It has been argued that in some cases, the thermodynamic…
Our study investigates the properties of Alfv\'en waves in partially ionised solar plasmas in the presence of steady, field-aligned, flows of charged and neutral particles. Our work aims to understand how such flows modify wave propagation…
Alfvenic waves are thought to play an important role in coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. Here we investigate the dissipation of standing Alfven waves due to phase mixing at the presence of steady flow and sheared magnetic field…
Chromospheric and prominence plasmas contain neutral atoms, which may change the plasma dynamics through collision with ions. Most of the atoms are neutral hydrogen, but a significant amount of neutral helium may also be present in the…
Interaction of Alfven waves with plasma inhomogeneities generates phase mixing which can lead to dissipate Alfven waves and to heat the solar plasma. Here we study the dissipation of Alfven waves by phase mixing due to viscosity and…
We present a new insight into the propagation, attenuation and dissipation of two-fluid, torsional Alfv\'en waves in the context of heating of the lower solar atmosphere. By means of numerical simulations of the partially-ionized plasma, we…
Here we investigate the contribution of surface Alfven wave damping to the heating of the solar wind in minima conditions. These waves are present in regions of strong inhomogeneities in density or magnetic field (e. g., the border between…
Alfv\'en waves are a particular class of magnetohydrodynamic waves relevant in many astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. In partially ionized plasmas the dynamics of Alfv\'en waves is affected by the interaction between ionized and neutral…
