Slab Model Analysis of Magnetic and Collisional Viscosity Effects on the First Generation of Nuclear Structure
Abstract
A simple model is postulated for the freezing scale in nuclear plumes, whose success depends strongly on the high M ratios of nuclear plumes, and on the existence of some mechanism which causes the slab growth rate gamma(k) to be sharply peaked when regarded as a function wavenumber k. Although the model derivation is quite different from another mode, the only significant difference in implementation is the use of growth rates valid for all gradient scale lengths, rather than for just the asymptotic long wavelength limit. This model is only two dimensional, and hence does not address three dimensional effects, which may be important. Keywords: Nuclear plumes, Freezing scale, Plasma structure.
