Parker Problem in Hall Magnetohydrodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
Parker problem in Hall magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is considered. Poloidal shear into the toroidal flow generated by the Hall effect is incorporated. This is found to lead to a triple deck structure for the Parker problem in Hall MHD, with the magnetic field falling off in the intermediate Hall-resistive region more steeply (like 1/x) than that (like 1/x) in the outer ideal MHD region. ∗Permanent Address: University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816-1364

A saddle-node bifurcation model of magnetic reconnection onset
It was recently shown that magnetic reconnection exhibits bistability, where the Sweet–Parker collisional and Hall collisionless reconnection solutions are both attainable for the same set of system parameters. Here, a dynamical model based on saddle-node bifurcations is presented which reproduces the slow to fast transition. It is argued that the properties of the dynamical model are a result ...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Lundquist Equations of Magnetohydrodynamics
A method of bicharacteristics [3] is used to derive a numerical method for solving multidimensional nonlinear Lundquist equations of magnetohydrodynamics. Actual numerical computations are carried out to solve two specific problems of magnetohydrodynamics—the magnetohydrodynamic initial-pressure problem and a problem of cylindrical waves in a transverse magnetic field due to a thin current-carr...
متن کاملDevelopment length of laminar magnetohydrodynamics pipe flows
In this article, a laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) developing flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid subjected to an external magnetic field is considered. The aim of the study is to propose a correlation for computing the development length of the laminar MHD developing flow in a pipe. A numerical approach is considered to solve the problem. In the first step, the numerical...

متن کاملA Model for Spontaneous Onset of Fast Magnetic Reconnection
We present a model for the spontaneous onset of fast magnetic reconnection in a weakly collisional plasma, such as the solar corona. When a current layer of macroscopic width undergoes collisional (Sweet-Parker) reconnection, a narrow dissipation region forms around the X-line. This dissipation region naturally becomes narrower during the reconnection process as stronger magnetic fields are con...
