dc.description.abstractWhy the atmosphere of the Sun is orders of magnitudes hotter than its surface is a long-standing question in solar physics. Over the years, many studies have looked at the potential role of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in sustaining these high temperatures. In this study, we use 3D MHD simulations to investigate (driven) transverse waves in a coronal loop. As the boundary-driven transverse waves propagate along the flux tube, the radial density profile leads to resonant absorption (or mode coupling) and phase mixing in the boundaries of the flux tube and the large velocity shears are subject to the Kelvin Helmholtz instability (KHI). The combination of these effects leads to enhanced energy dissipation and wave heating. Considering both resonant and non-resonant boundary driving as well as different densities for the flux tube, we show that only wave heating associated with a resonant driver in a lower density loop (with a loop core density ~5x10-13 kg/m-3) is able to balance radiative losses in the loop shell. Changing the model parameters to consider a denser loop or a driver with a non-resonant frequency, or both, leads to cooling of the coronal loop as the energy losses are greater than the energy injection and dissipation rates.
