Instability of a stratified layer of a partially-ionized plasma has been investigated in the simultaneous presence of the effects of Hall currents, magnetic resistivity, finite Larmor radius (FLR), and viscosity. The ambient magnetic field is assumed to be uniform and acting along the vertical direction. The solution is shown to be characterized by a variational principle, based on it the solution has been obtained for a plasma in which the density is stratified exponentially along the vertical. It is found that the viscosity, friction with neutrals, and FLR have all stabilizing influence on the growth rate of the unstable mode of disturbance. Magnetic resistivity and Hall currents are, however, found to have a destabilizing influence. 相似文献

The effects of Hall currents, finite conductivity, and collision with neutrals have been studied on the gravitational instability of a partially-ionized plasma. It is assumed that plasma is permeated by an oblique magnetic field. The dispersion relation has been obtained and numerical calculations have been performed to obtain the dependence of the growth rate of the gravitationally unstable mode on the various physical parameters involved. It is found that Jeans's criterion remains unchanged in the presence of Hall currents, finite conductivity, and collisions. The Hall currents, finite conductivity, and collisions have destabilizing influence on the unstable mode of wave propagation of a gravitational instability of partially-ionized plasma. 相似文献

The effect of Hall currents and collision with neutrals on the instability of a horizontal layer of a self-gravitating partially-ionized plasma of varying density have been studied. It is assumed that the plasma is permeated by a variable horizontal magnetic field stratified vertically. A variational principle is shown to characterize the problem. By making use of the existence of the variational principle, proper solutions have been obtained for a semi-infinite plasma in which density has a one-dimensional (exponential) vertical stratification. The dispersion relation has been derived and solved numerically. It is found that the collisions with neutrals have a stabilizing influence while Hall currents have a destabilizing influence. 相似文献

The hydromagnetic instability of a self-gravitating, incompressible rotating plasma of variable density has been examined in the presence of Hall currents. The system is assumed to be permeated by a variable horizontal magnetic field. The solution of the relevant linearized perturbation equations has been obtained by the normal mode technique through a variational principle which is shown to characterize the problem. Proper solutions have been obtained for a semi-infinite plasma having exponential density stratification along the vertical. The dispersion relation has been derived and solved numerically for different values of the physical parameters involved. It is found that Hall currents and Coriolis forces have both destabilizing influence as the growth rate of the unstable modes is found to increase with the increase of both Hall currents and Coriolis forces. 相似文献

Instability in a horizontal layer of a stratified rotating self-gravitating plasma is studied to include simultaneously the effects of Hall currents and the finiteness of the ion Larmor radius. Proper solutions have been obtained through the variational methods for a semi-infinite plasma in which the density has an exponential gradient along the vertical. The dispersion relation obtained has been solved numerically and it is found that the growth rate of the unstable perturbations decreases with both coriolis forces and gyroviscous effects. The influence of the effects of gyroviscosity as well as of Coriolis forces is consequently stabilizing. Hall currents are found to have a destabilizing influence as the growth rate is found to increase with this effect. 相似文献

The dynamic stability of a partially ionized, compressible Hall plasma of finite electrical conductivity has been investigated when the plasma is immersed in a uniform, horizontal magnetic field. Based on the variational principle, which is shown to characterize the problem, the solution has been obtained for a semi-infinite plasma confined between two planes and having an exponential density stratification along the vertical. It is found that the effect of neutral gas friction is stabilizing while magnetic resistivity, Hall currents and compressibility all have destabilizing influence.On leave of absence from Department of Mathematics, University of Jodhpur, Jodhpur, India. 相似文献

Thermal-convective instability of a hydromagnetic, composite, rotating, inviscid, and infinitely conducting plasma in a stellar atmosphere has been studied in the presence of Hall currents. It is found that the criterion for monotonic instability holds good in the presence of the effects due to rotation and Hall currents. 相似文献

The thermosolutal instability of a partially-ionized plasma in porous medium is considered in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field to include the effects of collisions and Hall currents. For the case of stationary convection, Hall currents and medium permeability have destabilizing effects whereas the stable solute gradient has stabilizing effect on the system. The collisional effects disappear for stationary convection. The sufficient conditions for the existence of overstability are obtained. 相似文献

Instability of a horizontal rotating layer of a self-gravitating electrically conducting fluid has been studied to simultaneously, include the effects of Hall currents and magnetic resistivity. The prevailing magnetic field is uniform and acts along the vertical direction along which the fluid has a one-dimensional density gradient. The solution has been obtained through the variational methods. The dispersion relation obtained has been solved numerically and it is found that Hall currents as well as magnetic resistivity have a destabilizing influence. Coriolis forces, however, have a stabilizing influence. 相似文献

The instability of a stratified layer of a self-gravitating plasma has been studied to include jointly the effects of viscosity, Coriolis forces and the finite Larmor radius (FLR). For a plasma permeated by a uniform horizontal magnetic field, the stability analysis has been carried out for a transverse mode of wave propagation. The solution has been obtained through variational methods for the case when the direction of axis of rotation is along the magnetic field. The analysis for the case when the direction of rotation is transverse to the magnetic field has also been considered and the solutions for this case have been obtained through integral approach. The dispersion relations have been derived in both the cases and solved numerically. It is found that both the viscous and FLR effects have a stabilizing influence on the growth rate of the unstable mode of disturbance. Coriolis forces are found to have stabilizing influence for small wave numbers and destabilizing for large wave numbers. 相似文献

The effects of arbitrary radiative heat-loss functions and Hall current on the self-gravitational instability of a homogeneous,
viscous, rotating plasma has been investigated incorporating the effects of finite electrical resistivity, finite electron
inertia and thermal conductivity. A general dispersion relation is obtained using the normal mode analysis with the help of
relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem, and a modified Jeans criterion of instability is obtained. The
conditions of modified Jeans instabilities and stabilities are discussed in the different cases of our interest. We find that
the presence of arbitrary radiative heat-loss functions and thermal conductivity modifies the fundamental Jeans criterion
of gravitational instability into a radiative instability criterion. The Hall parameter affects only the longitudinal mode
of propagation and it has no effect on the transverse mode of propagation. For longitudinal propagation, it is found that
the condition of radiative instability is independent of the magnetic field, Hall parameter, finite electron inertia, finite
electrical resistivity, viscosity and rotation; but for the transverse mode of propagation it depends on the finite electrical
resistivity, the strength of the magnetic field, and it is independent of rotation, electron inertia and viscosity. From the
curves we find that the presence of thermal conductivity, finite electrical resistivity and density-dependent heat-loss function
has a destabilizing influence, while viscosity and magnetic field have a stabilizing effect on the growth rate of an instability.
The effect of arbitrary heat-loss functions is also studied on the growth rate of a radiative instability. 相似文献

In the experiment presently described (which is the continuation of our previous work) we studied the effect of low-frequency drift wave instability on Hall conductivity in plasma. Using an external oscillation we can affect the drift wave amplitude (mainly around resonance), and the variation on Hall conductivity is observed. The effect is probably to be attributed to electron trapping by the waves potential. Good agreement between experimental and calculated values of azimuthal drift currents near and away from resonance lead us to believe that the proposed explanation by electron trapping is correct.In addition, the interaction of plasma with the magnetic field is important in a large variety of astrophysical phenomena. A large class of solar and magnetospheric phenomena involve the conversion of stored magnetic energy to thermal and kinetic energy of the plasma with mechanism in which important role have the plasma's conductivity. Accordingly, this experimental work must be considered as a good laboratory simulation to solar plasma devices. 相似文献

The effects of finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) corrections, Hall current and radiative heat-loss function on the thermal instability of an infinite homogeneous, viscous plasma incorporating the effects of finite electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and permeability for star formation in interstellar medium have been investigated. A general dispersion relation is derived using the normal mode analysis method with the help of relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem. The wave propagation is discussed for longitudinal and transverse directions to the external magnetic field and the conditions of modified thermal instabilities and stabilities are discussed in different cases. We find that the thermal instability criterion gets modified into radiative instability criterion. The finite electrical resistivity removes the effect of magnetic field and the viscosity of the medium removes the effect of FLR from the condition of radiative instability. The Hall parameter affects only the longitudinal mode of propagation and it has no effect on the transverse mode of propagation. Numerical calculation shows stabilizing effect of viscosity, heat-loss function and FLR corrections, and destabilizing effect of finite resistivity and permeability on the thermal instability. The outcome of the problem discussed the formation of star in the interstellar medium. 相似文献

Thermosolutal-convective instability of a composite plasma in a stellar atmosphere is considered to include the effects, separately, due to finite Larmor radius (FLR) and Hall currents in the presence of a uniform horizontal magnetic field. The sufficient conditions for the existence of monotonic instability are derived and are found to hold good both in the presence, separately, of FLR and Hall current effects. 相似文献

The hydromagnetic stability of a cosmical plasma interacting with neutral gas has been studied to include the effects of ion viscosity and the finiteness of the ion Larmor radius. It is first shown that the system is characterized by a variational principle. The explicit solution has then been obtained, by making use of the existence of the variational principle, for a semi-infinite plasma in which the density is stratified, exponentially, along the vertical. It is found that FLR, ion viscosity as well as neutral gas friction have all a stabilizing influence. 相似文献

Thermosolutal instability of a rotating plasma with finite Larmor radius and Hall effects is studied. When the instability sets in as stationary convection, the Hall currents and the stable solute gradient are found to have destabilizing and stabilizing effects, respectively. For the case of no rotation, finite Larmor radius effects are always stabilizing forx greater than two and forx less than its critical valueN
cr. In the limit of vanishing Hall current, the stabilizing effect of Coriolis force is observed. The question of onset of instability as overstability is also discussed. 相似文献
