Abstract The extensive arch-shaped features, solar prominences, are observed subtending high into the solar corona. Considering the prominences to be unbound, homogeneous and isothermal, invoking the background flow, in presence of the Newtonian radiation and turbulent viscosity, to investigate the spatial damping of compressional MHD waves, we derived a dispersion relation and solved it numerically for both the Kraichnan and Kolmogorov turbulences for a time span of s to s. For Kraichnan and Kolmogorov turbulences, we investigated the effect of background flow as well as variable physical parameters (e.g. electron density, magnetic field and angle between propagation vector and magnetic field) on the damping length of fast and slow modes. Our findings reveal that the background flow does not show any Doppler shift in the damping length of Fast as well as Slow modes for shorter periods. However, for the longer periods, the fast modes show significantly smaller Doppler shift but interestingly, we noticed that the slow modes exhibit a substantial Doppler shift.
