Abstract:An approach for the theory of nonlocal magnetorotational and convective instabilities in a rotating plasma is developed, on the basis of the surface wave concept, which allows the derivation of useful analytical results.It is assumed that the rotation frequency has a step-like profile, so that a narrow transition layer separates two regions with different rotation frequencies. The one-fluid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model for description of the perturbed plasma dynamics is used. It is shown that in the case of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
