Аннотация:
A general dispersion relation for the radiative condensation instability in an inhomogeneous magnetized plasma is derived from the modified Braginskii two-fluid equations including radiative heat loss effects. It is found that for parameter values relevant to the marfe regions of current Tokamaks the radiative thermal instability can be linearly coupled to the ion acoustic and drift waves. The dispersion relations and instability characteristics of the coupled modes are presented.
