Fractal MHD Waves in the Solar Atmosphere
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Nonlinear MHD waves forced into a bounded cavity exhibit structural instability of their equilibria and periodic orbits as the forcing varies. For some values of the forcing the computed Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents and phase-space correlation reveal that the waves become chaotic; the Haussdorff dimension of the waves’ attracting set lies between its correlation dimension (≈ 2.2) and its information dimension (≈ 2.25).
