Dissipative amplification of flute vortices in a plasma
Pavlenko V. P. , Petviashvili V. I., Taranov V. B.
Two-dimensional vortices which move at a velocity below the ion drift velocity can exist in the stability region of flute waves. Such vortices may be amplified by a dissipation due to ions. As a result, convection in the plasma will be intensified.
