Physics:Tearing mode

From HandWiki
Short description: Plasma instability

In plasma physics, a tearing mode is a plasma instability characterized by field line reconnection and the formation of magnetic islands.[1][2] With islands emerging in the plasma, particles and heat can move from regions that were originally disconnected. Pressure and current density profiles are flattened, causing disruptions.[3] The typical timescale for the growth of a tearing mode the order of 10−1 microsec.[4][5][6]
