Global Non-Axisymmetric Hall Instabilities in a Rotating Plasma

Alexandre Sainterme, Fatima Ebrahimi

Non-axisymmetric, flow-driven instabilities in the incompressible Hall-MHD model are studied in a differentially rotating cylindrical plasma. It is found that in the Hall-MHD regim…

Non-ideal stability analysis of differentially rotating plasmas with global curvature effects

Alexander Haywood, Fatima Ebrahimi

The linear stability of global non-axisymmetric modes in differentially rotating, magnetized, non-ideal plasma is crucial for understanding turbulence and transport phenomena. We i…

Understanding large-scale dynamos in unstratified rotating shear flows

Tushar Mondal, Pallavi Bhat, Fatima Ebrahimi +1

We combine simulations with new analyses that overcome previous pitfalls to explicate how nonhelical mean-field dynamos grow and saturate in unstratified, magnetorotationally drive…

A generalized effective potential for differentially rotating plasmas

Fatima Ebrahimi, Alexander Haywood

Global stability of differentially rotating plasma is investigated using a generalized effective potential. We first, for a current-free system, obtain a general form of an effecti…

Observation of nonaxisymmetric standard magnetorotational instability induced by a free-shear layer

Yin Wang, Fatima Ebrahimi, Hongke Lu +3

The standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI) is widely believed to be responsible for the observed accretion rates in astronomical disks. It is a linear instability triggered…

Identification of a non-axisymmetric mode in laboratory experiments searching for standard magnetorotational instability

Yin Wang, Erik P. Gilson, Fatima Ebrahimi +4

The standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI) is a promising mechanism for turbulence and rapid accretion in astrophysical disks. It is a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instability…
