Stabilizing influence of plasma flow on dissipative tearing instability
Bulanov S.V., Syrovatskii S.I., Sakai J.
Tearing instability of a current sheath (CS) is considered in the MHD approximation with account taken of the spreading of the plasma over the sheath. Such a flow can lead to a change in the instability threshold, thereby exerting a strong stabilizing influence.
