Plots show the effect varying the flow speed, vz has on the evolution of vθ. Each plot is shifted by a value of 2.175, which is the maximum amplitude of vθ seen in any of the simulations. The increase in vz shows that the duration for the amplification to occur and “push” the gas-dynamic shock beyond the low-chromosphere reduces and the maximum amplitudes of the wave increases. An initial flow speed of vz1 = 2.25 cS1 is the lower limit for the instability to occur with the chosen Alfvén and sound speeds.
