| Abstract: | Small perturbations of an unbounded volume of anisotropic collisionless plasma in a strong magnetic field are studied on the basis of MHD equations. It is assumed that there are present in the plasma ion heat fluxes connected with the third-order moments of the ion distribution function. The dispersion equation obtained, determining the velocity of five types of waves, is analyzed. In the space of the undisturbed plasma parameters the regions of values in which small perturbations are damped exponentially with time are found.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No.2, pp. 153–157, March–April, 1993. |
