| Abstract: | With reference to the problem of the development of tiring instability in a helical geometry it is shown that, as distinct
from traditional gas dynamics, in plasma dynamics the incompressibility approximation cannot generally be used for describing
slow flows. This is associated with the fact that several types of disturbances whose interaction results in possible density
variations of the order of unity can propagate in plasma.
