Propagation of Leaky MHD Waves at Discontinuities with Tilted Magnetic Field
Abstract
We investigate the characteristics of magneto-acoustic surface waves propagating at a single density interface, in the presence of an inclined magnetic field. For linear wave propagation, dispersion relation is obtained and analytical solutions are derived for small inclination angle. The inclination of the field renders the frequency of waves to be complex, where the imaginary part describes wave attenuation, due to lateral energy leakage.
