Comparison of slow-wave damping times between the SH and SNB thermal transport models. Left panel: slow-wave damping times for SH in the one-temperature (orange solid curve) and two-temperature (green solid curve) regimes and SNB in the one-temperature (red dashed curve) and two-temperature (blue dashed curve) plasma with n₀ = 10⁹ cm⁻³. The black crosses represent the damping time calculated by solving a dispersion relation (see e.g. Eq. (19) in De Moortel & Hood 2003) for one-temperature plasma with the SH thermal transport model. Right panel: ratio of SNB and SH damping times for one-temperature (red solid curve) and two-temperature (blue dashed curve) plasma with n₀ = 10⁹ cm⁻³.
