Abstract

The instability of two superposed homogeneous fluids is discussed under gravitational force and uniform magnetic field. The perturbation propagation is taken simultaneously along and perpendicular to streaming motion in the horizontal plane z=0. The critical wave numberk * has been found and some special cases of interest are discussed.
