Term : Instability
|
Definition : A state of a plasma (or any other physical system) in which a small perturbation amplifies itself to a considerable alteration of the state of the system. In plasmas instabilities sometimes leads to disruptions (see entry). Most known instabilities are associated with waves and other natural (linear) modes of plasma oscillation, though some arise only from nonlinear effects. Known classifications of plasma instabilities include: absolute instability, backscatter instability, ballooning instability, bar-forming instability, beam instability, Brillouin instability, cross-field instability, current-driven instability, drift instability, external/free boundary instability, external-kink instability, fishbone instability, flute instability, hydrodynamic instability, ideal MHD instability, interchange instability, internal/fixed boundary instability, internal kink instability, ion ring instability, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, kink instability, Kruskal-Schwarzchild instability, Langmuir beam instability, Loss cone instability, MHD instability, macroinstability, microinstability, modified two-stream instability, modulational instability, oscillating two-stream instability, parametric instability, pressure driven instability, Raman instability, Rayleigh-Taylor instability, resistive instability, sausage instability, streaming instability, thermal instability, trapped particle instability, two-plasmon instability, two-stream instability, universal instability, and velocity-space instability.

A planet (from the Greek planete means "wanderer" or
more forcefully "vagrant, tramp") is an object in orbit around a star
that is not a star in its own right. Much like "continent," "planet"
is a word without a precise definition, with history and culture playing
as much of a role as geology and astrophysics
