Magnetic reconnection in solar eruptive events of varying magnetic configurations
We study the relationship between magnetic reconnection and acceleration of filaments and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in different magnetic configurations. They occur in either quiet-Sun or active regions of either bipolar or multipolar magnetic fields, and are either or not accompanied by filament eruptions. The preliminary results of the case studies confirm the temporal correlation and mag...
متن کاملMagnetic reconnection configurations and particle acceleration in solar flares
Numerical simulations of two types of flares indicate that magnetic reconnection can provide environments favorable for various particle acceleration mechanisms to work. This paper reviews recent test particle simulations of DC electric field mechanism, and discusses how the flare particles can escape into the interplanetary space under different magnetic configurations.
متن کاملTemporal evolution of drift-type modes in plasma flows with strong time-dependent velocity shear
The linear and renormalized nonlinear analysis of the temporal evolution of drift-type modes in plasma flows with strong time-varying velocity shear is developed. Analysis is performed in the time domain without spectral decomposition in time and admits time variation of the flow velocity with time scales which may be comparable with turbulent time scales. 52.35.Ra Electronic mail: vmikhailenko...
متن کاملDevelopments in the theory of collisionless reconnection in magnetic configurations with a strong guide field
We review some recent results that have been obtained in the investigation of collisionless reconnection in two dimensional magnetic configurations with a strong guide field in regimes of interest for laboratory plasmas. First we adopt a two-fluid dissipationless plasma model where the plasma evolution is described by the advection of two Lagrangian invariant fields. Then, we show that an analo...
متن کاملVelocity shear stabilization of centrifugally confined plasma.
A magnetized, centrifugally confined plasma is subjected to a 3D MHD stability test. Ordinarily, the system is expected to be grossly unstable to "flute" interchanges of field lines. Numerical simulation shows though that the system is stable on account of velocity shear. This allows consideration of a magnetically confined plasma for thermonuclear fusion that has a particularly simple coil con...
