Abstract: | The effect of applying external pressure fluctuations on slender flux tubes is studied as a nonlinear initial value problem. Large amplitude velocity oscillations are seen to be produced when the frequency of the imposed fluctuations matches the natural frequency of the tube. Radiative cooling does not significantly damp these resonantly built-up oscillations. The absence of observational evidence for such a resonant response of the tubes is used to put a constraint on the length of tubes. |
