Stability of a thermal plasma jet
- Department of Physics and Astrophysics, University of Delhi, Delhi 110007 (India)
The stability of a slab model of a jet moving in an external plasma is investigated, assuming the configuration to be characterized by a general heat-loss function. Numerical results are obtained for the growth rates of unstable modes, both for symmetric and asymmetric perturbations for equal parallel magnetic fields along or transverse to the propagation vector in the wide and slender jet approximations. Special configurations of an incompressible jet moving past a thermal plasma and also of a thermal plasma moving past an incompressible static plasma are also considered. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
