Magnetic curvature driven Rayleigh-Taylor instability revisited

The problem of incomplete finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) stabilization of the magnetic curvature driven Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) in low beta plasma with homogeneous ion temperature is investigated. For this purpose a model hydrodynamic description of nonlinear flute waves with arbitrary...
