It is still an open problem whether the inhibition phenomenon of Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) instability by horizontal magnetic field can be mathematically proved in a non-resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid in a two-dimensional (2D) horizontal slab domain, since it had been roughly verified by a 2D linearized motion equations in 2012 cite{WYC}. In this paper, we find that this inhibition phenomenon can be rigorously verified in the inhomogeneous, incompressible, inviscid case with velocity damping. More precisely, there exists a critical number $m_{rm{C}}$ such that if the strength $|m|$ of horizontal magnetic field is bigger than $m_{rm{C}}$, then the small perturbation solution around the magnetic RT equilibrium state is exponentially stable in time. Our result is also the first mathematical one based on the nonlinear motion equations for the proof of inhibition of flow instabilities by a horizontal magnetic field in a horizontal slab domain. In addition, we also provide a nonlinear instability result for the case $|m|in [0,m_{rm{C}})$. Our instability result presents that horizontal magnetic field can not inhibit the RT instability, if its strength is to small.

The emph{two-dimensional} (2D) existence result of global(-in-time) solutions for the motion equations of incompressible, inviscid, non-resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluids with velocity damping had been established in [Wu--Wu--Xu, SIAM J. Math
. Anal. 47 (2013), 2630--2656]. This paper further studies the existence of global solutions for the emph{three-dimensional} (a dimension of real world) initial-boundary value problem in a horizontally periodic domain with finite height. Motivated by the multi-layers energy method introduced in [Guo--Tice, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 207 (2013), 459--531], we develop a new type of two-layer energy structure to overcome the difficulty arising from three-dimensional nonlinear terms in the MHD equations, and thus prove the initial-boundary value problem admits a unique global solution. Moreover the solution has the exponential decay-in-time around some rest state. Our two-layer energy structure enjoys two features: (1) the lower-order energy (functional) can not be controlled by the higher-order energy. (2) under the emph{a priori} smallness assumption of lower-order energy, we first close the higher-order energy estimates, and then further close the lower-energy estimates in turn.
We give theoretical analyses of the Magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor instability driven by a rotating magnetic field. Both slab and liner configurations with finite thicknesses are dealt with in the WKB and the non-WKB approximations. Results show that instab
ilities for all modes (combinations of wave vectors) are alleviated. We further discuss the potential application of the alternant/nested configurations of a theta and a Z pinch to the Theta-Z Liner Inertia Fusion (Theta-Z-LIF) concept.
We propose using a directional time-varying (rotating) driving magnetic field to suppress magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability in dynamic Z-pinches. A rotational drive magnetic field is equivalent to two magnetic-field components, {Theta} and Z,
that alternate in time, referred to as an alternate Theta-Z-pinch configuration. We consider the finitely thick cylindrical liner configuration in this paper. We numerically integrate the perturbation equation to stagnation time based on the optimal background unperturbed trajectories. We assess the cumulative growth of the dominant mode selected by some mechanism at the beginning of an implosion. The maximum e-folding number at stagnation of the dominant mode of an optimized alternate Theta-Z-pinch is significantly lower than that of the standard Theta- or Z-pinch. The directional rotation of the magnetic field contributes to suppress the instabilities, independent of the finite thickness. The finite thickness effect plays a role only when the orientation of the magnetic field varies in time whereas it does not appear in the standard Theta- or Z-pinch. The rotating frequency of the magnetic field and the thickness of liner are both having a monotonic effect on suppression. Their synergistic effect can enhance the suppression on MRT instability. Because the MRT instability can be well suppressed in this way, the alternate Theta-Z-pinch configuration has potential applications in liner inertial fusion.

We investigate the development of the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the inner edge of an astrophysical disk around a spinning central black hole. We solve the equations of general relativity that govern small amplitude oscillations of a dis
continuous interface in a Keplerian disk threaded by an ordered magnetic field, and we derive a stability criterion that depends on the central black hole spin and the accumulated magnetic field. We also compare our results with the results of GR MHD simulations of black hole accretion flows that reach a magnetically arrested state (MAD). We found that the instability growth timescales that correspond to the simulation parameters are comparable to the corresponding timescales for free-fall accretion from the ISCO onto the black hole. We thus propose that the Rayleigh-Taylor instability disrupts the accumulation of magnetic flux onto the black hole horizon as the disk reaches a MAD state.
This work examines the effect of the embedded magnetic field strength on the non-linear development of the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor Instability (RTI) (with a field-aligned interface) in an ideal gas close to the incompressible limit in three dimensio
ns. Numerical experiments are conducted in a domain sufficiently large so as to allow the predicted critical modes to develop in a physically realistic manner. The ratio between gravity, which drives the instability in this case (as well as in several of the corresponding observations), and magnetic field strength is taken up to a ratio which accurately reflects that of observed astrophysical plasma, in order to allow comparison between the results of the simulations and the observational data which served as inspiration for this work. This study finds reduced non-linear growth of the rising bubbles of the RTI for stronger magnetic fields, and that this is directly due to the change in magnetic field strength, rather than the indirect effect of altering characteristic length scales with respect to domain size. By examining the growth of the falling spikes, the growth rate appears to be enhanced for the strongest magnetic field strengths, suggesting that rather than affecting the development of the system as a whole, increased magnetic field strengths in fact introduce an asymmetry to the system. Further investigation of this effect also revealed that the greater this asymmetry, the less efficiently the gravitational energy is released. By better understanding the under-studied regime of such a major phenomenon in astrophysics, deeper explanations for observations may be sought, and this work illustrates that the strength of magnetic fields in astrophysical plasmas influences observed RTI in subtle and complex ways.
