The time evolution of a Vlasov-Poisson moving plasma in a cylindrical configuration is studied, respectively, for two cases of the external non-uniform magnetic field, namely the one where it is oriented along and the one where it is oriented perpendicular to the cylinder. The authors prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of Vlasov-Poisson's equation satisfying proper boundary conditions and show a plasma confinement effect of the considered external magnetic field which is assumed to be singular at the cylinder's boundary.
