The following videos present different perspectives of 2 Alfvén waves with azimuthal wavenumber, n=1,−1.The Alfvén wave in y>0 has azimuthal wavenumber, n=1 and the one 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
