FEM Silveira, HI Orlandi - Physics of Plasmas, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
In this work, new scaling laws of the time growth rate γ of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability with
the plasma resistivity η, kinematic viscosity ν, and electron number density ne are derived. A …

Rayleigh-Taylor instability with finite current relaxation

FEM Silveira, HI Orlandi - Physics of Plasmas, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
In this work, we explore the influence of perturbative wavelengths, shorter than those usually
considered, on the growth rate of the Rayleigh-Taylor modes. Therefore, we adopt an …
