Abstract

We consider an impulsively-started, vertical excitation of a solar coronal loop that is embedded into a potential arcade. The two-dimensional numerical model we implement includes the effects of line curvature and allows us to explore the effect of varying the initial pulse position. The results of the numerical simulations reveal kink mode oscillations with waveperiods that are reasonably close to the observational findings of Wang and Solanki (2004).
