Interfacial hydromagnetic waves with shear and inclined magnetic fields

Abstract

The combined effect of non-parallel propagation, steady :flow and inclined magnetic field on the . propagation characteristics of hydromagnetic surface waves is examined. The fluid is assumed to be perfectly conducting, infinite in extent with an interface which supports body modes as well as surface modes. This model also supports fast, Al:fven and slow modes depending on the parametric values of the system. These modes have interesting applications in the solar corona and solar wind.
