Magnetic-field generation by the ablative nonlinear Rayleigh–Taylor instability. (3rd December 2014) - Nilson, Philip M.
Abstract : Experiments reporting magnetic-field generation by the ablative nonlinear Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability are reviewed. The experiments show how large-scale magnetic fields can, under certain circumstances, emerge and persist in strongly driven laboratory and astrophysical flows at drive pressures exceeding one million times atmospheric pressure.
