Note on magneto-hydrodynamic gravitational stability of a double fluids interface

Abstract

The magneto–gravitational stability of double-fluid interface is discussed. The pressure in the unperturbed state is not constant because the self-gravitating force is a long-range force. The dispersion relation is derived and discussed. The self-gravitating model is unstable in the symmetric mode m = 0 (m is the transverse wave number), while it is stable in all other states. The effects of the densities, the liquid-fluid radii ratios, and the electromagnetic force on the stability of the present model are identified for all wavelengths.PACS Nos.: 47.35.Tv, 47.65.–d, 04.40.–b
