Definition: longitudinal magnetohydrodynamic wave

Note 1 to entry: The movement of the particles of the fluid is parallel to the direction of propagation of the magnetosonic wave; its wave vector k is orthogonal to the magnetic flux density.

The phase velocity of magnetosonic waves is

c φ = c 0 ( v s 2 + v A 2 ) ( c 0 2 + v A 2 ) MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aqatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr 4rNCHbGeaGqipu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9 vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0=yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr=x fr=xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaGaam4yamaaBa aaleaacqaHvpGzaeqaaOGaeyypa0Jaam4yamaaDaaaleaacaaIWaaa baaaaOWaaOaaaeaadaWcaaqaamaabmaabaGaamODamaaDaaaleaaca WGZbaabaGaaGOmaaaakiabgUcaRiaadAhadaqhaaWcbaGaamyqaaqa aiaaikdaaaaakiaawIcacaGLPaaaaeaadaqadaqaaiaadogadaqhaa WcbaGaaGimaaqaaiaaikdaaaGccqGHRaWkcaWG2bWaa0baaSqaaiaa dgeaaeaacaaIYaaaaaGccaGLOaGaayzkaaaaaaWcbeaaaaa@4B80@
