Shear flow instability near the cusp resonance in magnetopause boundary layer

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:1338003)





Shear flow instability is studied in the planar magnetopause boundary layer region by treating the plasma as compressible. A necessary criterion for instability near the cusp resonance is obtained analytically. The criterion depends on plasma parameter \(\beta\), Alfvén Mach number \(M_ A\) and the ratio of the scale lengths of the gradients in the flow and Alfvén velocities.
