Abstract

Kelvin-Helmoholtz instability by parallel flow velocity shear in presence of inhomogeneous d.c. electric field and perpendicular density temperature magnetic field gradient has been studied by using method of characteristic solution and kinetic approach. Effect of in homogeneity of d.c. electric field and gradient have been discussed in result. The growth rates have been calculated for different effects and showing in stabilizing and destabilizing of instability.
