Abstract: | The instability arising in a slab model of a jet moving in an external plasma is investigated, assuming the plasmas to be governed by the Chew, Goldberger, and Low (CGL) equations. Numerical results on the growth rates of unstable modes are obtained both for symmetric and asymmetric perturbations for equal aligned and transverse fields in wide and slender jet approximations. Special cases of an incompressible jet moving in a static CGL plasma and of a CGL plasma jet moving in an incompressible environment are also considered and conditions of instability derived. |
