By numerical calculation, it is shown that vortices are sequentiallygenerated on the background charged layer forming parallel shear flows in atwo-dimensional low beta incompressible plasma when the charged layer is locally disturbed by a small amount of additional charge. Numerical experiments are performed in a rectangular domain with 0
