KINK INSTABILITY

Specialty Definition: KINK INSTABILITY

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

In plasma physics, a kinking or bending of a current-carrying filament in the pinch effect geometry.If a slight bend forms in the plasma column of a pinch, the magnetic forces are such as to increase the bend and the column is unstable. (references)

Nuclear Energy & Physics

A hydromagnetic macroinstability which sometimes develops in a thin plasma column carrying a strong axial current. If a kink begins to develop in such a column, the magnetic forces on th e inside of the kink become larger than those on the outside, so that in general it tends to grow in magnitude. The column then becomes unstable and undergoes a gross lateral displacement toward the walls of the discharge vessel. Source: European Union. (references)
