The MHD Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability III: The Role of Sheared Magnetic Field in Planar Flows

Hyunju Jeong, Dongsu Ryu, T. W. Jones +1

We have carried out simulations of the nonlinear evolution of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability for compressible fluids in $2\frac{1}{2}$-dimensions,…
