High-frequency magnetohydrodynamics (original) (raw)
2023, Physics Letters
We consider the case that the displacement current is not neglected in the classical MHD equations, as it is usually done. This amounts to cast them in the relativistic framework of a finite speed of light. We show some consequences in describing magnetic reconnection phenomena and for hydromagnetic waves. In the first case, the equation for the magnetic induction is changed from (formally) parabolic to (formally) hyperbolic, in the second case both, the perturbed magnetic field and the particle velocity, obey to a certain third-order in time partial differential equation, rather than to the classical wave equation. We stress the role of two typically small but nonzero parameters, the magnetic diffusivity, η (corresponding to large values of the Lundquist number), and ε := c − 2 .

Linear relativistic anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic waves are investigated for an Imperfect fluid. Consideration is carried out for the plasma with finite bulk viscosity. Conditions for growth and decay of these waves are obtained in special cases of isotropy and Chew-Goldberger-Low (CGL) state.
Wave interactions in magnetohydrodynamics

In this paper, we apply the Majda-Rosales theory of resonantly interacting, weakly nonlinear hyperbolic waves in one space dimension to the equations of magnetohydrodynamics. We write out the general system of resonant interaction equations for magnetohydrodynamics together with normalized triad equations for all possible magnetohydrodynamic triads. We consider both the strictly and the nonstrictly hyperbolic cases and we include both
