Convective instability of a weakly ionized plasma contained in a narrow gap between two metal cylinders is studied considering non-axisymmetric waves. The case with the applied magnetic field in the azimuthal direction due to a central electrode is treated. The results show that the non-axisymmetric waves are more stable than their axisymmetric counterparts.

Three-dimensional numerical computations were carried out for the natural convection of air in a horizontal cylindrical enclosure in a magnetic field, which is modeled for a bore space of a horizontal superconducting magnet. The enclosure was cooled from the circumferential sidewall at the constant heat flux and vertical end walls were thermally insulated. A strong magnetic field was considered by a one-turn electric coil with the concentric and twice diameter of the cylinder. Without a magnetic field, natural convection occurs along the circumferential sidewall. When a magnetic field was applied, magnetizing force induced the additional convection, that is, the cooled air at the circumferential wall was attracted to the location of a coil. Consequently, the temperature around the coil decreased extensively.

The mechanism of anomalous plasma transport associated with dissipative drift instabilities in a weakly ionized plasma is investigated experimentally. Detailed measurements of the phase difference between electron density and potential fluctuations are presented. The results show good agreement between predicted anomalous losses associated with this phase difference and measured reductions in the plasma density. It is shown experimentally that dynamic stabilization using an oscillating azimuthal magnetic field effectively reduces the plasma losses due to the fluctuations.
