摘要
The paper investigates the role of relative motion between the fluid components of a plasma model, which is simulated by concatenation of two anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluids, on the propagation of low-frequency waves and instabilities. The gyrotropic pressure of both the MHD components is given by generalized polytropic laws that allow the system to reduce to a variety of states. The linearized analysis is carried out and dispersion relation is derived using the normal mode technique. The dispersion relation, which gives numerous earlier results as special cases, is discussed both analytically as well as numerically for parameters appropriate for the space plasma. It is found that the relative motion between the two components, besides modifying the condition for fire-hose instability, causes the concatenated system to exhibit different kinds of relative ordering of the magnitudes of phase speeds of the various MHD modes in the directions parallel and antiparallel to the magnetic field. The relative motion between the components also influences the phase relationship between density and magnetic field fluctuations for the various compressive modes in the background ambient plasma.
