In this paper, our objective is to apply the attractor bifurcation theory to study the stability and bifurcation of a viscous incompressible plasma fluid contained between two concentric rotating cylinders. We get a dimensionless parameter $T$ which can describe the stability and bifurcation of the plasma fluid through calculation. When $T$ is smaller than a critical number $T_0$, the plasma fluid is stable. When $T$ crosses the critical number $T_0$, the plasma fluid becomes unstable and will generate a new magnetic field which has an interesting structure.
Keywords: Plasma fluid, narrow-gap issue, instability, structure., attractor bifurcation.
