Kaira & Kathuria used the method of multiple scales to develop nonlinear analysis of Rayleigh–Taylor instability of a plasma in a magnetic field. Their calculations remain valid only for wavenumbers k away from the linear cut-off value kc, and break down for wavenumbers near kc. The purpose of this paper is to treat the latter case. The solution uses the method of strained parameters. The results show the instability persists even at k = kc, despite the cut-off predicted by the linear theory.

Superposed Fluids

A general equation studying the combined effect of horizontal and vertical magnetic fields on the stability of two superposed fluids has been obtained. The unstable and stable cases at the interface (z = 0) between two uniform fluids, with both the possibilities of real and complex n, have been. separately dealt with. Some new results are obtained. In the unstable case with real n, the perturbations are damped or unstable according as 2(k'-k~L2)_(<X2-<Xl)k is> or < 0 under the physical situation (35). In the stable case, the perturbations are stable or unstable according as 2(k2_k~L2)+(<Xl-<X2)k is > or < 0 under the same physical situation (35). The perturbations become unstable if HIlIH 1- (= L) is large. Both the cases are also discussed with imaginary n.

Nonlinear theory of Rayleigh—Taylor instability in plasma supported by a vacuum magnetic field shows that the growth rate of the mode, unstable in the linear theory, increases if the wavelength of perturbation π lies betweenand 2πcrit. This might have an important bearing on the proposed thermonuclear MHD power generation experiments.
