Alfvén wave
Videos
In plasma physics, an Alfvén wave, named after Hannes Alfvén, is a type of plasma wave in which ions oscillate in response to a restoring force provided by an effective tension on the magnetic field l
Magnetic waves, called Alfvén S-waves, flow from the base of black hole jets.

Magnetohydrodynamics is a model of electrically conducting fluids that treats all types of charged particles together as a single continuous fluid. It is primarily concerned with the low-frequency, la
