The Role of Helicity in Magnetic Reconnection: 3D Numerical Simulations
We demonstrate that conservation of global helicity plays only a minor role in determining the nature and consequences of magnetic reconnection in the solar atmosphere. First, we show that observations of the solar coronal magnetic field are in direct conflict with Taylor’s theory. Next, we present results from three-dimensional MHD simulations of the shearing of bipolar and multi-polar coronal...
متن کاملHigh Lundquist Number Resistive MHD Simulations of Magnetic Reconnection: Searching for Secondary Island Formation
Recently, secondary island formation due to the tearing instability of the Sweet-Parker current sheet was identified as a possible mechanism that can lead to fast reconnection (less sensitive dependence on Lundquist number S ) both in numerical simulations using Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method [Daughton et al. 2009], as well as using resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) [Lapenta 2008; Bhattacharj...

متن کاملIs null - point reconnection important for solar flux emergence ?
The role of null-point reconnection in a 3D numerical MHD model of solar emerging flux is investigated. The model consists of a twisted magnetic flux tube rising through a stratified convection zone and atmosphere to interact and reconnect with a horizontal overlying magnetic field in the atmosphere. Null points appear as the reconnection begins and persist throughout the rest of the emergence,...
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 ...
