- Solar pores are ideal magnetic structures for wave propagation and transport of energy radially-outwards across the upper layers of the solar atmosphere. We aim to model the excitation and propagation of magnetohydrodynamic waves in a pore with a lightbridge modelled as two interacting magnetic flux tubes separated by a thin, weaker field, layer. We solve the three-dimensional MHD equations numerically and calculate the circulation as a measure of net torsional motion. We find that the interaction between flux tubes results in the natural excitation of propagating torsional Alfvén waves, but find no torsional waves in the model with a single flux tube. The torsional Alfvén waves propagate with wave speeds matching the local Alfvén speed where wave amplitude peaks.
