Extract

A uniformly-streaming, semi-infinite, incompressible, infinitely-conducting plasma subjected to a gravitational field is confined by a vacuum magnetic field aligned with the stream. The system is disturbed by introducing a source of external steady pressure acting on the interface between the plasma and the magnetic field. The resulting wave motion at the interface is studied by using the Fourier-transform method to determine the solution for the displacement of the interface.
