Videos
The following films present different perspectives of an "infinite" number of Alfvén waves with azimuthal wavenumber, n=1,−1. The Alfvén waves in y>0 have azimuthal wavenumber, n=1 and the ones in y<0, n=−1.
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
