Forward Modelling of Propagating Slow Waves in Coronal Loops and Their   Frequency-Dependent Damping
  Propagating slow waves in coronal loops exhibit a damping which depends upon the frequency of the waves. In this study we aim to investigate the relationship of the damping length (L$_d$) with the frequency of the propagating wave. We present a 3-D coronal loop model with uniform density and temperature and investigate the frequency dependent damping mechanism for the four chosen wave periods. We include the thermal conduction to damp the waves as they propagate through the loop. The numerical model output has been forward modelled to generate synthetic images of SDO/AIA 171 \r{A} and 193 \r{A} channels. The use of forward modelling, which incorporates the atomic emission properties into the intensity images, allows us to directly compare our results with the real observations. The results show that the damping lengths vary linearly with the periods. We also measure the contributions of the emission properties on the damping lengths by using density values from the simulation. In addition to that} we have also calculated the theoretical dependence of L$_d$ with wave periods and showed that it is consistent with the results we obtained from the numerical modelling and earlier observations.
