Solute Gradient

The thermosolutal instability of a compressible plasma due to the effects of the ion Larmor radius is considered. The system is found to be stable for (Cp/ g ) ß < 1. The finite Larm or radius and the compressibility introduce oscillatory modes in the system for (Cp /g) ß > 1. The compressibility, solute gradient and finite Larmor radius stabilize the stationary convection. The necessary conditions for overstability are also derived.

Stabilizing Effect

Abstract The effects of the finite Larmor radius of the ions on the thermal instability of a plasma are investigated. When the instability sets in as stationary convection, the finite Larmor radius is found to have a stabilizing effect. The conditions for the nonexistence of overstability are investigated. The case with horizontal magnetic field is discussed.
