Fundamental Concepts Associated with Magnetic Reconnection
The chapter starts with a discussion about the importance of the concept of magnetic field lines in space plasmas and magnetic reconnection, followed by presentations on: (a) the meaning and validity of empirical constructs related with magnetic reconnection research, such as: “moving” magnetic field lines, “frozenin” condition and “diffusion region” of reconnection; and (b) experimental eviden...
متن کاملFast Magnetic Reconnection Associated With Kink Modes
A three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation in a large system demonstrates that a kink mode significantly contributes to a fast reconnection by providing magnetic dissipation through anomalous resistivity. The anomalous resistivity is generated due to the electron heating in the thin electron current sheet. It is interesting that, although the kink mode broadens the width of the current she...
متن کاملEnergy Conversion in Magnetic Reconnection with Chaos Diffusion
Electromagnetic particle simulation is performed in order to investigate the behavior of collisionless driven reconnection in an open system. Ion frozen-in condition in the vicinity of magnetic neutral sheet is broken due to the growth of off-diagonal components of pressure tensor term. The relationship between the pressure tensor and the meandering motion in the ion dissipation region is clari...
متن کاملMagnetic reconnection
The fundamental physics of magnetic reconnection in laboratory and space plasmas is reviewed by discussing results from theory, numerical simulations, observations from space satellites, and recent results from laboratory plasma experiments. After a brief review of the well-known early work, representative recent experimental and theoretical works are discussed and the essence of significant mo...
متن کاملTurbulent impulsive magnetic energy release from electron scale reconnection
Magnetic reconnection may occur as bursts of nonlinear plasma dynamics on the electron collisionless skin length scale de=c / pe, during which a large fraction of the magnetic energy is converted to plasma thermal energy and plasma flow energy. An example of such a bursty energy release event is given with a simple set of electron Hall equations. The energization mechanism is the cross-field co...
