Double-diffusive instabilities of a shear-generated magnetic layer
Previous theoretical work has speculated about the existence of doublediffusive magnetic buoyancy instabilities of a dynamically evolving horizontal magnetic layer generated by the interaction of forced vertically sheared velocity and a background vertical magnetic field. Here we confirm numerically that if the ratio of the magnetic to thermal diffusivities is sufficiently low then such instabi...
متن کاملInstabilities of a Baroclinic, Double Diffusive Frontal Zone
The linear theory of double diffusive interleaving is extended to take account of baroclinic effects. This study goes beyond previous studies by including the possibility of modes with nonzero tilt in the alongfront direction, which allows for advection by the baroclinic frontal flow. This requires that the stability equations be solved numerically. The main example is based on observations of ...
متن کاملSingular diffusionless limits of double-diffusive instabilities in magnetohydrodynamics
We study local instabilities of a differentially rotating viscous flow of electrically conducting incompressible fluid subject to an external azimuthal magnetic field. In the presence of the magnetic field, the hydrodynamically stable flow can demonstrate non-axisymmetric azimuthal magnetorotational instability (AMRI) both in the diffusionless case and in the double-diffusive case with viscous ...
متن کاملStick-slip instabilities in the shear flow of magnetorheological suspensions
Synopsys This work is devoted to the stick-slip instabilities that appear in the shear flow of highly concentrated suspensions of magnetic microparticles. The effect of the applied magnetic field strength was analyzed in details. With this aim, homogeneous suspensions of iron microparticles with concentration near the limit of maximum-packing fraction were prepared, and shear-flow measurements ...
متن کاملInstabilities and vortex dynamics in shear flow of magnetized plasmas
Gradient-driven instabilities and the subsequent nonlinear evolution of generated vortices in sheared E X B flows are investigated for magnetized plasmas with and without gravity (magnetic curvature) and magnetic shear by using theory and implicit particle simulations. In the linear eigenmode analysis, the instabilities considered are the Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability and the resistive int...
