From: The influence of the solid to plasma phase transition on the generation of plasma instabilities
Experimental vs. magnetohydrodynamic simulation results in the plasma phase. The wavelength of the perturbations of the coronal plasma increases with time. The dominant average axial wavelength λ of instabilities in the coronal plasma (a) 210 ns after the current start is measured to be 270 μm and the simulation computes it to be 255 μm, while 30 ns later (b) is measured to be 600 μm and the simulation computes it to be 575 μm. The pseudocolour bar corresponds to mass density in arbitrary units
