ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study is to provide insight on the induced compressive perturbations together with the modifications of the environmental parameters in the course of Alfvén wave interaction with a solar magnetic null-point. The shock-capturing Godunov-type code PLUTO is used to solve the set of ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations. The nonlinear effects connected with an initial Alfvén pulse nearing a magnetic null point induces fast and slow magnetoacoustic waves with anti phase conduct. The induced current density and flows are independent of the local plasma-[Formula: see text] at the reconnection site. The induced inflows and outflows highly depend on the polarization. The inflows have a stronger effect compared to the outflows in both the x and y directions showing its peak in the x-direction. The dominant wave that couples to flows is the fast wave due to the in-phase harmony between perturbations of the compressive parameters and the fast wave. The induced current density possesses a steady orientation at the reconnection site which governs the diffusion or propagation of the waves. Induced perturbations by the nonlinear forces together with their back reaction on the Alfvén wave have a significant role in the current density excitation being responsible for the creation of inflows and outflows that are possible candidates for the creation of solar jets which has a significant contribution towards coronal seismology.
