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 کاملScaling of asymmetric magnetic reconnection: General theory and collisional simulations
A Sweet-Parker-type scaling analysis for asymmetric antiparallel reconnection in which the reconnecting magnetic field strengths and plasma densities are different on opposite sides of the dissipation region is performed. Scaling laws for the reconnection rate, outflow speed, the density of the outflow, and the structure of the dissipation region are derived from first principles. These results...
متن کاملMagnetic reconnection in weakly collisional highly magnetized electron-ion plasmas
A reduced three-field model of two-dimensional magnetic reconnection in a weakly collisional, highly magnetized plasma consisting of isothermal electrons and cold ions is derived from a set of Braginskii-like fluid equations. The model is then used to calculate the linear growth rate of the reconnecting instability in collisionless and semicollisional parameter regimes. © 2010 American Institut...
