Abstract

The microinstabilities of a high-pressure plasma moving along a magnetic field with a non-uniform velocity profile are investigated. A similar problem was studied earlier by Dobrowolny on the basis of hydromagnetic equations with an oblique viscosity tensor. The present paper, unlike Dobrowolny's work, gives a kinetic analysis. Perturbations with transverse wavelength both larger and smaller than the ion Larmor radius are considered. The analysis indicates that there is a large family of microinstabilities of the ‘drift’ type whose mechanism differs from the classical Kelvin–Helmholtz instability.
