Abstract

The effect of sheared poloidal flow on the linear Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability of magnetized plasma is reexamined. In the weak curvature flow limit (V⊥0″≪1) the linear RT mode stabilization effect is recovered. In the strong flow curvature limit (V⊥0″≫1) it is shown that the RT mode may not stabilize.
