Numerical Tests of Fast Reconnection in Weakly Stochastic Magnetic Fields

G. Kowal, A. Lazarian, E. T. Vishniac +1

We study the effects of turbulence on magnetic reconnection using 3D numerical simulations. This is the first attempt to test a model of fast magnetic reconnection in the presence…

Model of Reconnection of Weakly Stochastic Magnetic Field and its Testing

A. Lazarian, E. Vishniac, G. Kowal

Astrophysical fluids are generically turbulent, which means that frozen-in magnetic fields are, at least, weakly stochastic. Therefore realistic studies of astrophysical magnetic r…

Studying ISM magnetic fields and turbulent regimes from polarimetric maps

D. Falceta-Goncalves, A. Lazarian, G. Kowal

Polarimeric maps have been used on the characterization of the magnetic field in molecular clouds. However, it is difficult to determine the 3-dimensional properties of these regio…

Aspects of Density Fluctuations in Compressible MHD Turbulence

Grzegorz Kowal, A. Lazarian

We study scaling relations of compressible isothermal strongly magnetized turbulence using numerical simulations with resolution 512. We find a good correspondence of our resul…

A Comparative Study of Velocity Statistics of Hydrodynamic and Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Nicholas Hall, G. Kowal, A. Lazarian +1

Turbulence in an incompressible fluid with and without a magnetic field as well as moderately compressible MHD turbulence are compared. For the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models the…
