Abstract

The possibility of using the Vlasov fluid model to describe large ion Larmor radius effects in a Z pinch is discussed. It is shown that the Vlasov fluid formulation can be applied to the m = 0 mode, but the comparison theorem which states that systems which are MHD stable are also Vlasov fluid stable, is shown to be inapplicable in this case.
