The effect of plasma flow, compressibility, and Landau damping on resistive wall modes

A uniform compressible plasma with a uniform flow along the magnetic field in the presence of a resistive wall is shown to be subject to two instabilities. For the first instability, the flow velocity is required to exceed the Alfve´n speed, whereas for the second it need only exceed the sound speed. For a sufficiently high ion temperature, ion Landau damping is shown to stabilize the second instability associated with the sound speed.
