Viscous shear instability in weakly magnetized, dilute plasmas
When the ion mean free path much exceeds the Larmor radius in a plasma, the viscous stress tensor is altered dramatically and depends only on quantities measured along the field lines. This regime corresponds to typical interstellar medium conditions in galaxies and protogalaxies, even if the magnet...
