Table 1: Simulations of Alfvén waves in a homogeneous medium. The wave is characterised by the two quantities $\eta$ , the amplitude of the imposed Alfvén wave in terms of the vertical magnetic field, and $\beta _{\rm }={2 \mu _0 p}/{B_z^2}$ the plasma beta. For the different Runs we further specify the length of the time step $\Delta t$ in terms of the period of the wave, P, the length of the computational domain, L in terms of the wave length, $\lambda$ , and the number of grid points, N.
