Effect of Inhomogeneous Parallel Flow on Plasma Waves and Instabilities (Space Plasma Flow)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

The prevalent theories of parallel flow have considered plasma waves and instabilities in the presence of only flow shear. As a result, these theories have predicted only excitation (destabilization) of instabilities which has lead to the well-known hypothesis that `parallel flow shear is the origin of many space oscillations and instabilities'. However, here we propose to develop a model of space ...
