Abstract
Consideration is given to several features of viscous compressible MHD modes in a uniformly magnetized medium and viscous MHD mode conversion in the presence of background inhomogeneity. It is shown that in the presence of the viscous MHD resonance layers, viscous MHD mode conversion can be very effective in absorbing the power of an incident acoustic wave upon an isolated, inhomogeneously magnetized flux tube. Based on this, a possible interpretation for the reported p-mode absorption by sunspots embedded in the solar photosphere is proposed. 38 refs.
