Dynamic Topology and Flux Rope Evolution During Non-linear Tearing of 3D Null Point Current Sheets
P. F. Wyper, D. I Pontin
In this work the dynamic magnetic field within a tearing-unstable three-dimensional (3D) current sheet about a magnetic null point is described in detail. We focus on the evolution…

Non-linear Tearing of 3D Null Point Current Sheets
P. F. Wyper, D. I Pontin
The manner in which the rate of magnetic reconnection scales with the Lundquist number in realistic three-dimensional (3D) geometries is still an unsolved problem. It has been demo…

Mimetic Methods for Lagrangian Relaxation of Magnetic Fields
Simon Candelaresi, David Pontin, Gunnar Hornig
We present a new code that performs a relaxation of a magnetic field towards a force-free state (Beltrami field) using a Lagrangian numerical scheme. Beltrami fields are of interes…
