Videos
The following videos present different perspectives of 2 Alfvén waves with azimuthal wavenumber, n=1,1.Both Alfvén waves have azimuthal wavenumber, 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
