On the application of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic linear eigenvalue equation to the Z-pinch
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Extract
A study of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic linear eigenvalue spectrum for free-boundary modes in the Z-pinch is presented. The application of a variational method to estimate eigenvalues is described and limitations imposed by the nature of the spectrum are discussed. An analytic expression for the long-wavelength m = 0 growth rate is derived
