abstract:Rayleigh flow refers to diabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of heat addition or rejection is considered. Compressibility effects often come into consideration, although the Rayleigh flow model certainly also applies to incompressible flow.
A magnetohydrodynamic formulation is derived to investigate the mitigation effects of the shearedaxialflowontheRayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability in Z-pinchplasma.
