Magnetic helicity fluxes in dynamos from rotating inhomogeneous turbulence
Axel Brandenburg, Ethan T. Vishniac
We analyze direct numerical simulations of large-scale dynamos in inhomogeneous nonhelically driven rotating turbulence with and without shear. The forcing is modulated so that the…
Conserving Local Magnetic Helicity in Numerical Simulations
Yossef Zenati, Ethan T. Vishniac
Magnetic helicity is robustly conserved in systems with very large magnetic Reynolds numbers, including most systems of astrophysical interest, and unlike kinetic and magnetic ener…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
Inertial-Range Reconnection in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence and in the Solar Wind
Cristian C. Lalescu, Yi-Kang Shi, Gregory L. Eyink +3
In situ spacecraft data on the solar wind show events identified as magnetic reconnection with outflows and apparent "`-lines" times ion scales. To understand the rol…
Fast magnetic reconnection in three dimensional MHD simulations
Bijia Pang, Ue-Li Pen, Ethan T. Vishniac
We present a constructive numerical example of fast magnetic reconnection in a three dimensional periodic box. Reconnection is initiated by a strong, localized perturbation to the…
Magnetic Field Structure and Stochastic Reconnection in a Partially Ionized Gas
A. Lazarian, E. T. Vishniac, J. Cho
We consider stochastic reconnection in a magnetized, partially ionized medium. Stochastic reconnection is a generic effect, due to field line wandering, in which the speed of recon…
