Dissipative Instability of Magnetohydrodynamic Sausage Waves in a Compressional Cylindrical Plasma: Effect of Flow Shear and Viscosity Shear

The shear flow influences the stability of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. In the presence of a dissipation mechanism, flow shear may induce an MHD wave instability below the threshold of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, which is called dissipative instability. This phenomenon is also called negat...
