Generalized Magnetofluid Connections in Curved Spacetime
Luca Comisso, Felipe A. Asenjo
The ideal magnetohydrodynamic theorem on the conservation of the magnetic connections between plasma elements is extended to non-ideal relativistic plasmas in curved spacetime. The…
Scalings Pertaining to Current Sheet Disruption Mediated by the Plasmoid Instability
Yi-Min Huang, Luca Comisso, Amitava Bhattacharjee
Analytic scaling relations are derived for a phenomenological model of the plasmoid instability in an evolving current sheet, including the effects of reconnection outflow. Two sce…
Role of the Plasmoid Instability in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Chuanfei Dong, Liang Wang, Yi-Min Huang +2
The plasmoid instability in evolving current sheets has been widely studied due to its effects on the disruption of current sheets, the formation of plasmoids, and the resultant fa…
Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Plasmoid-Mediated Regime
L. Comisso, Y. -M. Huang, M. Lingam +2
Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and magnetic reconnection are ubiquitous in astrophysical environments. In most situations, these processes do not occur in isolation, but interact w…
Plasmoid Instability in Evolving Current Sheets and Onset of Fast Reconnection
Yi-Min Huang, Luca Comisso, A. Bhattacharjee
The scaling of plasmoid instability maximum linear growth rate with respect to Lundquist number in a Sweet-Parker current sheet, , indicates that at high $…
