Lesson No. 11: the Peeling-Balloning Model of Edge Pedestal Instability

this is an additional lesson only for those interested in Plasma Physics.

the idea came after collegues remarked: "why don't you include something for the Peeling balloning stability theory ?"

 

This vignette has a statue with a pedestal.

The pedestal is peeling off.

Soon it will become unstable and collapse.

And there are lots of balloons.

Ah !

 

especially dedicated to Dr. Solano.

 

For those of you lucky enough not to be familiar with this theory, well you are just that: lucky !

 

For more accessible theories go to the previous lessons in the Great Scientific Theories set
