The forms of Alfvénic fluctuations in the solar wind sometimes possess nearly constant magnetic intensities but have an approximate arc rather than circular polarization. They are also associated with layers of abrupt field rotation called rotational discontinuities (RDs) where the field changes direction by <180°. Ion-sense and electron-sense rotations are observed in approximately equal numbers. To explore the origin of this form, we conduct a one-and-one-half-dimensional hybrid numerical simulation study of the evolution of obliquely propagating, low-frequency (<
