The Critical Role of Collisionless Plasma Energization on the Structure of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Hsin Liu, Shan-Chang Lin, Michael Hesse +4
During magnetically dominated relativistic reconnection, inflowing plasma depletes the initial relativistic pressure at the x-line and collisionless plasma heating inside the diffu…
A model of global magnetic reconnection rate in relativistic collisionless plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Fan Guo +2
A model of global magnetic reconnection rate in relativistic collisionless plasmas is developed and validated by the fully kinetic simulation. Through considering the force balance…
Scaling of magnetic reconnection in relativistic collisionless plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Fan Guo, William Daughton +2
Using fully kinetic simulations, we study the scaling of the inflow speed of collisionless magnetic reconnection from the non-relativistic to ultra-relativistic limit. In the anti-…
Fluid and Magnetofluid Modeling of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Seiji Zenitani, Michael Hesse, Alex Klimas
The fluid-scale evolution of relativistic magnetic reconnection is investigated by using two-fluid and magnetofluid simulation models. Relativistic two-fluid simulations demonstrat…
Resistive Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Seiji Zenitani, Michael Hesse, Alex Klimas
Resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RRMHD) simulations are applied to investigate the system evolution of relativistic magnetic reconnection. A time-split Harten--Lan--van…
Scaling of the Anomalous Boost in Relativistic Jet Boundary Layer
Seiji Zenitani, Michael Hesse, Alex Klimas
We investigate the one-dimensional interaction of a relativistic jet and an external medium. Relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations show an anomalous boost of the jet fluid i…
