Abstract

It is shown that the combined effect of resistivity and thermal conductivity leads to convection in a cylindrical current-carrying plasma, under the action of a shearless magnetic field. In contrast to the case of part 1, these modes occur for large wavenumbers and Bθ≫ Bz The conditions, however, are the same as before. From this fact it is then conjectured that convection takes place for any wavenumber, determined only by the actual value of B0/Bz.
