Abstract
AbstractKorteweg-de Vries equations for slow body and torsional weakly nonlinear Alfvén waves in twisted magnetic flux tubes are derived. Slow body solitons appear as a narrowing of the tube in a low β plasma and widening of the tube, when β ≫ 1. Alfvén torsional solitons appear as a widening (β > 1) and narrowing (β < 1) of the tube, where there is a local increase of tube twisting. Two scenarios of nonlinear dissipation of strongly nonlinear waves in twisted flux tubes are proposed.
