Add example notebook for MHD wave dispersion relations #2198
Comments
That would be fantastic! In case you'll be at the APS DPP meeting next week, we'll have a table there if you'd like to stop by.
I think a brief derivation would be helpful. An alternative place would be the docstrings of the classes or module. We wouldn't be able to directly use the Wikipedia text since it is under the copyleft CC-BY-SA license and PlasmaPy is under the permissive BSD 3-clause license, but we could add something similar.
I think it'd be fine to use a graphic from elsewhere, and I like the one you pointed to. I almost mentioned license compatibility here too, but it looks like you're the one who created that figure which is awesome! Thank you again! |
I will definitely stop by!
I think since the derivations of all three DRs are identical, it would be best to add a single derivation to the module docstring if not in the notebook. And I just mean something with similar brevity as the Wikipedia derivation. Although, since I contributed this text to the article, I retain the copyright and can re license if necessary (if my understanding of this is correct).
Thanks. I also just mean something similar. I am unaware of relevant diagrams with compatible licenses, so I just linked my own. |
Following up on #2197, it would be really helpful to include an example notebook that covers the three different types of MHD waves. The notebook should give an understandable introduction to Alfvén, fast magnetosonic, and slow magnetosonic waves. It would be helpful to include the formulae for the dispersion relations, and talk about what is physically happening in each of the waves. Diagrams indicating the nature of each of the waves would be helpful too.
I keep meaning to do this every year, but it would be really helpful to have this in place by the SULI summer course in June 2024.
