Abstract
Kaira & Kathuria used the method of multiple scales to develop nonlinear analysis of Rayleigh–Taylor instability of a plasma in a magnetic field. Their calculations remain valid only for wavenumbers k away from the linear cut-off value kc, and break down for wavenumbers near kc. The purpose of this paper is to treat the latter case. The solution uses the method of strained parameters. The results show the instability persists even at k = kc, despite the cut-off predicted by the linear theory.
