Scientific paper

When a shock wave encounters a fluid discontinuity, the interface may become unstable and form bubbles and spikes. We consider this Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in magnetohydrodynamics through a set of numerical calculations for the magnetospause and the magnetotail configurations. We suggest that the instability may be a mechanism for generating transient events in the magnetosphere.
