Abstract

In order to find the equations for the nonlinear energy exchange between low-frequency waves in magnetized plasmas in the presence of pressure anisotropy, we start from the Chew–Goldberger–Low equations, the isothermal MHD equations, as well as a new hybrid system of equations. The coupling coefficients describing the interaction between two Alfvén waves and one magnetosonic wave as well as the interaction between two magnetosonic waves and one Alfvén wave are deduced.
