Growth and saturation of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability with parallel and anti-parallel magnetic fields

R. Keppens, G. Toth, R. H. J. Westermann +1

We investigate the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occuring at the interface of a shear flow configuration in 2D compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The linear growth and the sub…
