The influence of rotation on flute instability is studied in the frame of one-fluid magnetohydrodynamics. We consider the simplest model of gravitating cylindrical plasma in the straight nonuniform magnetic field to simulate plasma behavior in mirrors. Using linear stability analysis, we derive disp...
