Numerical study of non-gyrotropic electron pressure effects in collisionless magnetic reconnection
A. Sladkov, R. Smets, N. Aunai +1
We investigate the time evolution of the six-component electron pressure tensor in a hybrid code studying consequences for the two-dimensional reconnection process in an initially…
SMILEI: a collaborative, open-source, multi-purpose particle-in-cell code for plasma simulation
J. Derouillat, A. Beck, F. Pérez +10
SMILEI is a collaborative, open-source, object-oriented (C++) particle-in-cell code. To benefit from the latest advances in high-performance computing (HPC), SMILEI is co-developed…
Influence of the dissipation mechanism on collisionless magnetic reconnection in symmetric and asymmetric current layers
Nicolas Aunai, Michael Hesse, Carrie Black +2
Numerical studies implementing different versions of the collisionless Ohm's law have shown a reconnection rate insensitive to the nature of the non-ideal mechanism occuring at the…
Comparison between hybrid and fully kinetic models of asymmetric magnetic reconnection: coplanar and guide field configurations
Nicolas Aunai, Michael Hesse, Seiji Zenitani +4
Magnetic reconnection occurring in collisionless environments is a multi-scale process involving both ion and electron kinetic processes. Because of their small mass, the electron…
