Abstract
The Chew—Goldberger—Low theory of a collisionless plasma, modified to include the effect of finite Larmor radius of the ion and the electron, is applied to a linearized problem of two-dimensional steady flow. The zeroth-order terms in the Larmor radius expansions of the velocity distribution functions of the ion and the electron are assumed to be anisotropic Maxwellian. The spatial development of a given velocity profile is investigated for flows with either crossed or aligned magnetic fields, and for various values of Mach number, Alfvén Mach number, and anisotropic pressure ratios in the main flow.Keywords
