Observation of the Taylor instability in a dusty plasma

K. A. Pacha, J. R. Heinrich, S.-H. Kim, and R. L. Merlino

The Taylor instability in a dusty plasma is examined in this paper and found to be similar to the
hydrodynamicTaylor instability that occurs when a light fluid is accelerated into a heavy fluid.
