متن کاملKinetic Vlasov Simulations of collisionless magnetic Reconnection
A fully kinetic Vlasov simulation of the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Magnetic Reconnection Challenge is presented. Good agreement is found with previous kinetic simulations using particle in cell (PIC) codes, confirming both the PIC and the Vlasov code. In the latter the complete distribution functions fk (k = i, e) are discretised on a numerical grid in phase space. In contrast to PIC ...
متن کاملGyrokinetic simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection
Linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection in the presence of a strong guide field are presented. A periodic slab system is considered with a sinusoidally varying reconnecting magnetic field component. The linear growth rates of the tearing mode in both the large and small regimes are compared to kinetic and fluid theory calculations. In the nonlinear re...
متن کاملKinetic simulations of x-line expansion in 3D reconnection
[1] The dynamics of x-line formation and evolution in 3D magnetic reconnection is studied using a fully kinetic approach. An x-line of small length is initialized using a perturbation localized in the current direction. The electrons and ions drift diamagnetically along the current direction of the initial x-line and are further accelerated by the reconnection electric field. The electron and i...
متن کاملThree-dimensional particle simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection
[1] Three-dimensional (3-D) particle simulations are performed in a double current layer configuration to investigate the stability of current sheets and boundary layers which develop during magnetic reconnection of antiparallel fields in collisionless plasma. The strong current layers that develop near the x line remain surprisingly laminar, with no evidence of turbulence and associated anomal...
