  1. Full wavelength - magnetic field streamlines.

  2. Full wavelength magnetic field streamlines including the magnitude of the (x,y) components of the magnetic field.

  3. Quarter wavelength seen from perspective.

  4. Quarter wavelength seen from the z-direction.

  5. Quarter wavelength seen from perspective including the velocity field.

  6. Quarter wavelength seen from the z-direction including the velocity field.

  7. Full wavelength, horizontal cut including the velocity field.

  8. Full wavelength, vertical cut including the velocity field.

Key:

  • x-axis (red arrow), y-axis (green arrow) and z-axis (blue arrow)

  • Red lines – magnetic field lines

  • Grey surface – slab boundaries

  • White arrows – velocity direction field

  • Density perturbation - red (high), blue (low)
