We study the propagation and dissipation of magnetohydrodynamic waves in a set of numerical models that each include a solar--like stratified atmosphere and a magnetic field with a null point. All simulations have the same magnetic field configuration but different transition region heights. Compressive wave packets introduced in the photospheric portion of the simulations refract towards the null and collapse it into a current sheet, which then undergoes reconnection. The collapsed null forms a current sheet due to a strong magnetic pressure gradient caused by the inability of magnetic perturbations to cross the null. Although the null current sheet undergoes multiple reconnection episodes due to repeated reflections off the lower boundary, we find no evidence of oscillatory reconnection arising from the dynamics of the null itself. Wave mode conversion around the null generates a series of slow mode shocks localized near each separatrix. The shock strength is asymmetric across each separatrix, and subsequent shock damping therefore creates a tangential discontinuity across each separatrix, with long--lived current densities. A parameter study of the injected wave energy to reach the null confirms our previous WKB estimates. Finally, using current estimates of the photospheric acoustic power, we estimate that the shock and Ohmic heating we describe may account for $approx1-10%$ of the radiative losses from coronal bright points with similar topologies, and are similarly insufficient to account for losses from larger structures such as ephemeral regions. At the same time, the dynamics are comparable to proposed mechanisms for generating type--II spicules.
We perform nonlinear MHD simulations to study the propagation of magnetoacoustic waves from the photosphere to the low corona. We focus on a 2D system with a gravitationally stratified atmosphere and three photospheric concentrations of magnetic flux
The plasma of the lower solar atmosphere consists of mostly neutral particles, whereas the upper solar atmosphere is mostly ionised particles and electrons. A shock that propagates upwards in the solar atmosphere therefore undergoes a transition wher
We investigate the dynamical evolution of magnetic fields in closed regions of solar and stellar coronae. To understand under which conditions current sheets form, we examine dissipative and ideal reduced magnetohydrodynamic models in cartesian geome
This work aims to understand the behavior of non-linear waves in the vicinity of a coronal null point. In previous works we have showed that high frequency waves are generated in such magnetic configuration. This paper studies those waves in detail i
We propose a mechanism for the fast dissipation of magnetic fields which is effective in a stratified medium where ion motions can be neglected. In such a medium, the field is frozen into the electrons and Hall currents prevail. Although Hall current
