We study miscible Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) fingering instability in two-dimensional homogeneous porous media, in which the fluid density varies non-monotonically as a function of the solute concentration such that the maximum density lies in…
We study a resistive tearing instability developing in a system evolving through the combined effect of Hall drift in the Electron-MHD limit and Ohmic dissipation. We explore first the exponential growth of the instability in the linear…
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) of differential rotation under the simultaneous presence of axial and azimuthal components of the (current-free) magnetic field is considered. For rotation with uniform specific angular momentum the…
The structure and dynamics of diffuse gas in the Milky Way and other disk galaxies may be strongly influenced by thermal and magnetorotational instabilities (TI and MRI) on scales of about 1-100 pc. We initiate a study of these processes,…
The analysis of the Rayleigh-B\'enard instability due to the mass diffusion in a fluid-saturated horizontal porous layer is reconsidered. The standard diffusion theory based on the variance of the molecular position growing linearly in time…
The possibility that the magnetic shear-flow instability (MRI, Balbus-Hawley instability) might give rise to turbulence in a cylindric Couette flow is investigated through numerical simulations. The study is linear and the fluid flow is…
The stability problem of MHD Taylor-Couette flows with toroidal magnetic fields is considered in dependence on the magnetic Prandtl number. Only the most uniform (but not current-free) field with B\_in = B\_out has been considered. For high…
We study the stability of density stratified flow between co-rotating vertical cylinders with rotation rates $\Omega_o < \Omega_i$ and radius ratio $r_i/r_o=0.877$, where subscripts $o$ and $i$ refer to the outer and inner cylinders. Just…
Observations have shown the presence of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHi) in solar prominences. Effects due to partial ionization of the prominence plasma may influence the KHi onset. We study the triggering of the KHi in an interface…
Linear stability of solid body rotating flows with axisymmetric density variations is addressed analytically. Considering inviscid disturbances, a non trivial dispersion relation is obtained and it is shown that the instability is of…
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) in cylindrical Taylor-Couette flow with external helical magnetic field is simulated for infinite and finite aspect ratios. We solve the MHD equations in their small Prandtl number limit and confirm…
The effect of rotation on the classical gravity-driven Rayleigh-Taylor instability has been shown to influence the scale of the perturbations that develop at the unstable interface and consequently alter the speed of propagation of the…
This study uses two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations to explore Rayleigh-Taylor-like instability in a strongly coupled binary complex plasma, when heavier dust particles are positioned above the lighter ones, having the same…
The electron-cyclotron drift instability (ECDI) has been proposed as one of the main actors behind the anomalous transport of electrons in Hall plasmas. In this work, we revisit the classical theory of this instability [Forslund et al.,…
The linear stability theory of Taylor-Couette flows (unbounded in_z_) is described including magnetic fields, Hall effect or a density stratification in order to prepare laboratory experiments to probe the stability of differential rotation…
In this paper, we are interested in the nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor instability for the gravity-driven incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with Navier-slip boundary conditions around a smooth increasing density profile $\rho_0(x_2)$ in a…
The buoyancy-induced parallel flow in a vertical cylindrical porous layer is analysed. A radial thermal gradient caused by a uniformly distributed heat source is assumed to induce the buoyant flow. The layer boundaries are modelled as…
An analytical approach is carried out that provides an inviscid stability criterion for the strato-rotational instability (in short SRI) occurring in a Taylor-Couette system. The control parameters of the problem are the rotation ratio…
The magnetic-Rayleigh--Taylor (MRT) instability is a ubiquitous phenomenon that occurs in magnetically-driven Z-pinch implosions. It is important to understand this instability since it can decrease the performance of such implosions. In…
The interiors of quiescent prominences are filled with turbulent flows. The evolution of upflow plumes, descending pillars, and vortex motions has been clearly detected in high-resolution observations. The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is…
