Abstract

Using a one-dimensional MHD code of Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) scheme, we perform simulations of propagation of nonlinear magnetosonic waves. A magnetosonic wave is a longitudinal wave propagating perpendicularly to the magnetic field lines, and involves compression and rarefaction of the magnetic field lines and the plasma. We first confirm the theoretical solution of Lee and Kim (2000) for the evolution of nonlinear magnetosonic waves in the homogeneous space. (omitted)
