Abstract

The effect of a large ion Larmor radius on the Rayleigh–Taylor instability is investigated using the Vlasov fluid model. The results are compared with an ideal magnetohydrodynamic model. It is found that this effect reduces the growth rate of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability with respect to the ideal magnetohydrodynamic growth rate.
