Contribution to the theory of thermal modulation instability
Burinskaya T.M., Volokitin A.S.
We investigate the nonlinear stage of the development of wave modulation instability produced in a magnetized plasma when the latter is heated. The analysis is confined to a one-dimensional model with modulation of the density transverse to the magnetic field. Numerical solutions and theoretical estimates are obtained for the parameters of the resultant structure.
