Scientific paper

The nonmodal self-heating mechanism recently proposed by Rogava is applied to the medium of solar coronal holes with an inhomogeneous plasma flow along the magnetic field lines. The viscosity force is assumed to be anisotropic. The efficiency of the nonmodal cascade process is examined for different sets of environmental parameters and for different wave parameters. It is concluded that the proposed mechanism can serve as an alternative mechanism for explaining the significant heat production in the lower corona, even when only laminar values of the viscosity coefficients are taken into account.
