The instability of hydrodynamic longitudinal oscillations in a non-uniform magnetoactive plasma
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
The stability of hydrodynamic longitudinal oscillations of an inhomogeneous magnetoactive plasma is analysed. If the non-uniformity of density is taken into account, it is shown to result in parametric-like instability at sub- and ultra- harmonics of natural plasma oscillation frequencies. The conditions for the development of unstable oscillations and their growth rates are determined.
