Parameter study on Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in solar wind type flowing structures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 November 2006
Abstract
The stability behaviour of the wave modes that propagate in the solar wind plasma is considered in the framework of the Hall-magnetohydrodynamics. The Hall-MHD theory extends the wave frequency limit up to or higher than the ion cyclotron frequency. Due to the different flow velocities of the adjacent media in the solar wind, a Kelvin–Helmholtz instability is naturally expected to arise. The behaviour of the wave modes due to this particular kind of instability is studied under solar wind conditions typical for 1 AU. This is a preliminary study on the stability problem in the solar wind flowing structures and it could be relevant for the interplanetary and space weather research.
