Kelvin--Helmholtz instability of a horizontal interface between a finite subsonic gas and a finite magnetic liquid
Keyword(s):
The nonlinear Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of a horizontal interface between a magnetic inviscid incompressible liquid and an inviscid laminar subsonic gas is investigated. The gas and the liquid are assumed to have finite thicknesses. The applied magnetic field is parallel to the solid surfaces of the considered system. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain two nonlinear Schrodinger equations describing the behaviour of the perturbed system. The stability of the progressive waves is discussed theoretically. The nonlinear cutoff wave number is obtained, where the stability conditions of the standing waves are obtained. A numerical example is applied to discuss the stability diagrams.PACS Nos.: 51.60 and 47.20
