The book provides a comprehensive overview of the eruptive and wave phenomena in the solar atmosphere. One of the ongoing problems in solar physics is the heating of the solar corona. Currently there is a competition between two mechanisms in explaining the heating, i.e., dissipation of energy by waves and small scale frequent coronal magnetic reconnection. However, some studies indicate this may be a joint effect of these two possible mechanisms. Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) of propagating magnetohydrodynamic modes in solar flowing structures plays an important role in the solar atmosphere. It can trigger the onset of wave turbulence leading to effective plasma heating and particle acceleration. KHI is a multifaceted phenomenon and the purpose of this book is to illuminate its (instability) manifestation in various solar jets like spicules, dark mottles, surges, macrospicules, Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray jets, as well as rotating, tornado-like, jets, solar wind, and coronal mass ejections.The modeling of KHI is performed in the framework of ideal magnetohydrodynamics. The book consists of 12 chapters and is intended primarily for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as early career researchers.
Professor Ivan Zhelyazkov, 82 passed away on Friday, March 26, 2021 at Sofia, Bulgaria. He was a great plasma Physicist, devoted teacher, wonderful human being, colleague and friend, who worked for many national and international collaborative projects. His main research was on Kelvin Helmholtz Instability (KHI), which can be one of the contributions for cracking the coronal heating problem, which still remains a mystery. He was a great research supervisor for many doctoral students. Professor Zhelyazkov published more than 100 research papers in international journals of repute. He established a scientific school and guided many of them on the way.
