Description
By driving Alfven and kink waves into an expanding flux tube we demonstrated that
with a Poynting flux on 2x10^7 erg/s/cm^2 we can reproduce a heating profile broadly
consistent with the mid to upper chromosphere. The heating mechanism is through
ponderomotive coupling of Alfven waves to shock and it is the shocks which dissipate
and heat. These same shocks also produce jets similar to spicules (Type-I).
