A Numerical Experiment on Oscillatory Magnetic Reconnection in a Laboratory Plasma System Driven by Alternating Currents
Sripan Mondal, Abhishekh Kumar Srivastava, Eric R. Priest
Using the open source MPI-AMRVAC framework, we study oscillatory reconnection in a laboratory plasma, which occurs when a magnetic null is perturbed by incoming fast magnetoacousti…
The Singular Behaviour of Ambipolar Diffusion Revealed by 1D Cartesian Solutions
F. Moreno-Insertis, E. R. Priest, D. Nóbrega-Siverio
Aims. We seek to (a) study 1D Cartesian ambipolar diffusion near null points; (b) characterise the nonlinear eigenmodes for ambipolar diffusion; (c) propose tests for ambipolar dif…
On the complex nature of coronal heating
C. A. Breu, D. I. Pontin, E. Priest +1
A large part of the hot corona consists of magnetically confined, bright plasma loops. These observed loops are in turn structured into bright strands. We investigate the relations…
Generation of Surface Sausage Oscillations of a Current Sheet and Propagating Magnetoacoustic Waves by Impulsive Reconnection
Sripan Mondal, A. K. Srivastava, David I. Pontin +1
Magnetic reconnection and Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves may well be both playing a role in coronal heating. In this paper, we simulate reconnection in the corona as a response to…
Localized Heating and Dynamics of the Solar Corona due to a Symbiosis of Waves and Reconnection
A. K. Srivastava, Sripan Mondal, Eric R. Priest +6
The Sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, is maintained at mega-Kelvin temperatures and fills the heliosphere with a supersonic outflowing wind. The dissipation of magnetic waves and…
Generation of fast magnetoacoustic waves in the corona by impulsive bursty reconnection
Sripan Mondal, A. K. Srivastava, David I. Pontin +3
Fast-mode magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in the solar corona are often known to be produced by solar flares and eruptive prominences. We here simulate the effect of the interactio…
Heating in the Solar Atmosphere at a Fin Current Sheet Driven by Magnetic Flux Cancellation
Eric R. Priest, David I. Pontin
Magnetic reconnection before flux cancellation in the solar photosphere when two opposite-polarity photospheric magnetic fragments are approaching one another is usually modelled b…
2.5-D MHD Simulation of the Formation and Evolution of Plasmoids in Coronal Current Sheets
Sripan Mondal, Abhishek K Srivastava, David I. Pontin +2
In the present paper, using MPI-AMRVAC, we perform a 2.5-D numerical MHD simulation of the dynamics and associated thermodynamical evolution of an initially force-free Harris curre…
