Flute and kink instabilities in a dynamically twisted flux tube with anisotropic plasma viscosity
James Quinn, Radostin D. Simitev
Magnetic flux tubes such as those in the solar corona are subject to a number of instabilities. Important among them is the kink instability which plays a central part in the nanof…
Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and collapse of a twisted magnetic null point with anisotropic viscosity
James Quinn, David MacTaggart, Radostin Simitev
Context: Magnetic null points are associated with high-energy coronal phenomena such as solar flares and are often sites of reconnection and particle acceleration. Dynamic twisting…
The Effect of Anisotropic Viscosity on the Nonlinear Kink Instability
James Quinn, David MacTaggart, Radostin Simitev
The kink instability of magnetohydrodynamics is believed to be fundamental to many aspects of the dynamic activity of the solar atmosphere, such as the initiation of flares and the…
