Counterstreaming plasma expansion occurs in a variety of saturations ranging from laboratory devices to plasma in space. It was established that the processes of collisionless interaction of plasma flows play a decisive role in dynamics of such nonstationary astrophysical phenomena as Supernova burst, and Solar flares, and active experiments in space (AMPTE). As a result of such interaction in the surrounding background the waves and shock are generated. The deceleration of the plasma by the external magnetic field produces the flute modes observed on the surface of the expanding plasma cloud. These field-aligned structures appeared as ripples on the surface near the time of maximum expansion.
