Parallel Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in edge plasma

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in a compressible dust fluid flow

“…The KH instability-induced turbulence at the interface of sheared plasma flow transports mass, momentum, and energy across the boundary which helps to understand a variety of astrophysical phenomena 26,27 . Other than astrophysical situations, the KH instability has also been extensively studied in flowing magnetized plasmas [28][29][30][31] . In some other experiments, a novel technique was employed using a laser to initiate the KH instability in high energy density plasmas 32,33 .…”
