Description
Summary:The general pattern of Weibel instability attributed to thermal anisotropic distribution in the electron component is obtained using the technique of discrete simulation of self-consistent radiationless plasma. The dependences of the initial medium anisotropy of the key instability parameters (the characteristic period and the maximum magnetic field energy) are investigated.
