ABSTRACT: Effects
of horizontal and vertical magnetic field components on the Rayleigh-Taylor
instability of stratified incompressible plasmas layer of variable density
through Darcy porous medium are studied. The basic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
set of equations has been constructed and linearized. Then the linear
normalized growth rate is obtained analytically as a function of the physical
parameters of the system considered. Numerical calculations have been performed
to see the effects of various parameters on the normalized growth rate of
Rayleigh-Taylor instability.(For more information,please refer to the PDF.)
