Introduction
Introduction The uniform flow of an ideal magnetohydrodynamic fluid alo
ng a uniform magnetic field is stable for all velocities, unless there is a boundary.
For incompressible plasma, if v0 > sqr(2)VA the instability is then generated.
For compressible plasma, the resistive wall instability occurred if v0 > cs, for the finite layer width and compressibility of the plasma significantly lowers the flow velocity required for instability to set in.
With various parameters, the linear instabilities are studied in many kinds of instances in our work.

Summary Fixed on some parameters, the critical velocitie
s are calculated for the different wave numbers; With the increase of wave numbers, the mode is
stabilized ; The unstable regions vs. wave number and visco
sity are presented. It is shown that the system tends to stable when the wave number and viscosity increase;
For the parameter beta, it is found that the linear growth rates increase as beta increases in realistic beta regime;
Cw has little effects on the linear growth rate
