Viscous-resistive layer in Rayleigh-Taylor instability

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 …

Electron skin depth in low density plasmas

FEM Silveira, BP Siqueira - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2020 - cambridge.org
We rescale the generalized Ohm's law and consider the limits that imply the electric field
which moves with an ideal (inviscid and perfectly conducting) plasma be proportional to the …

Rayleigh-Taylor Instability with Finite Skin Depth

FEM Silveira - PLASMA PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY, 2018 - ojs.cvut.cz
In this work, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability is addressed in a viscous-resistive current slab,
by assuming a finite electron skin depth. The formulation is developed on the basis of an …

TEARING MODES GROWTH RATE AMPLIFICATION DUE TO FINITE CURRENT RELAXATION

FE Mendonça da Silveira - 2017 - dspace.cvut.cz
In this work, we explore the influence of perturbative wavelengths, shorter than those usually
considered, on the growth rate γ of the tearing modes. Thus, we adopt an extended form of …
