Fast magnetic reconnection in free space: self-similar evolution process
We present a new model for time evolution of fast magnetic reconnection in free space, which is characterized by self-similarity. Reconnection triggered by locally enhanced resistivity assumed at the center of the current sheet can self-similarly and unlimitedly evolve until external factors affect the evolution. The possibility and stability of this type of evolution are verified by numerical ...
متن کاملSelf-similar evolution of self-written waveguides.
Numerical simulations show that channel waveguides can be self-written in photosensitive materials. As the waveguide evolves, its shape remains approximately constant, even though its depth and width change. We find an exact solution that describes this evolution, which we show to be self-similar. A wide variety of single-peaked beams form waveguides that converge to this solution.
متن کاملLocal-in-space Estimates near Initial Time for Weak Solutions of the Navier-stokes Equations and Forward Self-similar Solutions
We show that the classical Cauchy problem for the incompressible 3d Navier-Stokes equations with (−1)-homogeneous initial data has a global scale-invariant solution which is smooth for positive times. Our main technical tools are local-in-space regularity estimates near the initial time, which are of independent interest.
متن کاملSelf-similar evolution of Alfven wave turbulence
We study self-similar solutions of the kinetic equation for MHD wave turbulence derived in (Galtier S et al 2000 J. Plasma Phys. 63 447–88). Motivated by finding the asymptotic behaviour of solutions for initial value problems, we formulate a nonlinear eigenvalue problem comprising in finding a number x∗ such that the self-similar shape function f (η) would have a powerlaw asymptotic η−x ∗ at...
متن کاملSelf-Similar Evolution of Supercritical Cores
We use a semi-analytic model to examine the collapse of supercritical cores (i.e., cores with a mass-to-ux ratio exceeding a critical value). Recent numerical simulations of the formation and contraction of supercritical cores show that the inner solution tends toward self-similar evolution. We use this feature to develop analytic expressions for quantities such as the density, angular velocity...
