Can I read Shear Flow Stabilization of a z-Pinch Plasma in the Presence of a Radial Temperature Gradient on EtoBox?

Shear Flow Stabilization of a z-Pinch Plasma in the Presence of a Radial Temperature Gradient by Winterberg, F. is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Shear Flow Stabilization of a z-Pinch Plasma in the Presence of a Radial Temperature Gradient about?

The previous study regarding the stabilization of a magnetized constant temperature plasma by shear flow with vorticity is extended to a plasma of non-constant temperature, where in the presence of heat source or sinks the thermomagnetic Nernst effect becomes important. Of special interest is what this effect has on the stabilization of a linear z-pinch discharge for which exact solutions are given. Solutions which are unstable for subsonic shear flow become stable if the flow is supersonic.
