adjectivesupermagnetosonic (not comparable)
- not comparablenatural sciencessupersonic and magnetosonic
The nonlinear evolution of the Kelvin Helmholtz instability in a magnetized plasma with a perpendicular flow close to, or in, the supermagnetosonic regime can produce a significant parallel-to-perpendicular pressure anisotropy.
