Chaos-induced resistivity in collisionless magnetic reconnection.
Magnetic null points act as scattering centers where particles describe chaotic orbits and the mixing effect increases the kinetic entropy. In an open system where convection of particles into/from the chaos region exists, the saturation of the entropy can be avoided, and continuous dissipation is achieved. The chaos-induced collisionless resistivity of ions enables fast magnetic reconnection. ...
متن کاملOn the two-dimensional magnetic reconnection with nonuniform resistivity
In this paper two theoretical approaches for the calculation of the rate of quasi-stationary, twodimensional magnetic reconnection with nonuniform anomalous resistivity are considered in the framework of incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). In the first, “global” equations approach the MHD equations are approximately solved for a whole reconnection layer, including the upstream and downst...
متن کاملPetschek-like reconnection with current-driven anomalous resistivity and its application to solar flares
Recent numerical simulations of magnetic reconnection in two dimensions have shown that, when the resistivity is strongly localized, the reconnection region develops a Petschek-like structure, with the width of the inner diffusion region being of the order of the resistivity localization scale. In this paper, we combine this fact with a realistic model for locally-enhanced anomalous resistivity...
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 کاملChaos-induced resistivity of collisionless magnetic reconnection in the presence of a guide field
It is one of the most puzzling problems in astrophysics to understand the anomalous resistivity in collisionless magnetic reconnection that is believed extensively to be responsible for the energy release in various eruptive phenomena. The magnetic null point in the reconnect current sheet, acting as a scattering center, can lead to chaotic motions of particles in the current sheet, which is on...
