Zur Stabilität zylindersymmetrischer Plasmakonfigurationen mit Volumenströmen

Abstract

The stability of cylindersymmetric plasma configuration with volume currents is investigated by the method of small perturbations. The problem is reduced to only one eigen-value differential equation of second order. For special current distribution with relativly strong concentration to the axis the eigen-values are computed numerically. For this current distribution specially for long wave lengths instability shows up. The rates of growth for different kinds of pertubations are given as a function of the wave length.
