Notes. The columns give the model name, the size of the domain (l_x, l_y), the initial pressure, P₀, the velocity shear, U₀, the corresponding Mach number $\mathsf{M}= U_0 / c_{\rm s}$ , the initial magnetic field $\vec b_0$ , the initial width of the shear flow, a, the corresponding wave number, k_x, the growth rate, $\Gamma_{\rm MP}$ , obtained from Miura & Pritchett (1982), and an estimate of the numerical growth rate, $\Gamma_{\rm num}$ .
