Effect of different dust flow velocities on combined Kelvin-Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in magnetized incompressible dusty fluids

2016 
We investigate the effect of different dust flow velocities and two dimensional magnetic fields on the combined Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) and Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) of two superimposed incompressible dusty fluids. A single fluid reduced dusty magnetohydrodynamic model is obtained for the three component magnetized incompressible dusty plasma, and it is assumed that a plane interface of infinite boundaries separates heavy and light dusty fluids at z = 0. The general dispersion relations for RT and KH configurations are obtained using appropriate boundary conditions and discussed in the case of equal and different dust fluid flow velocities. In the case of the stable RT configuration, we find that the condition of RTI depends upon both longitudinal and transverse magnetic field components and relative dust flow velocity. In the case of the KH configuration, the effect of magnetic field and relative dust flow velocity is observed and it is shown that dust flow velocity must be larger than...
