Magnetic field generation in a jet-sheath plasma via the kinetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
We have investigated the generation of magnetic fields associated with velocity shear between an unmagnetized relativistic jet and an unmagnetized sheath plasma. We have examined the strong magnetic fields generated by kinetic shear (Kelvin–Helmholtz) instabilities. Compared to the previous studies using counter-streaming performed by Alves et al. (2012), the structure of the kinetic K lvin– He...
متن کاملKelvin-Helmholtz instability of stratified jets
In this paper we continue investigations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of stratified jets. We first generalize our previous analytical results by taking into consideration relativistic motion and relativistic equation of states for the three components namely the inner beam, the sheet or envelope and the ambient medium, and derive the dispersion relation for the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabili...
متن کاملSpatial simulations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in astrophysical jets
Aims. The long term magnetohydrodynamic stability of magnetized transonic/supersonic jets is numerically investigated using a spatial approach. We focus on two-dimensional linearly-unstable slab configurations where the jet is embedded in a flow-aligned uniform magnetic field of weak amplitude. We compare our results with previous studies using a temporal approach where longitudinally periodic ...
متن کاملThe Mhd Kelvin-helmholtz Instability Iii: the Role of Sheared Magnetic Field in Planar Flows
We have carried out simulations of the nonlinear evolution of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability for compressible fluids in 2 1 2 -dimensions, extending our previous work by Frank et al. (1996) and Jones et al. (1997). In the present work we have simulated flows in the x− y plane in which a “sheared” magnetic field of uniform strength “smoothly” rotates across a thi...
متن کاملKelvin-helmholtz Instability by Sph
In this paper, we have modeled the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) problem of an incompressible two-phase immiscible fluid in a stratified inviscid shear flow with interfacial tension using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The time dependent evolution of the two-fluid interface over a wide range of Richardson number (Ri) and for three different density ratios is numerically inve...
