Topological Constraints on Magnetic Relaxation
A. R. Yeates, G. Hornig, A. L. Wilmot-Smith
The final state of turbulent magnetic relaxation in a reversed field pinch is well explained by Taylor's hypothesis. However, recent resistive-magnetohydrodynamic simulations of th…
Dynamics of braided coronal loops II: Cascade to multiple small-scale reconnection events
D. I. Pontin, A. L. Wilmot-Smith, G. Hornig +1
Aims: Our aim is to investigate the resistive relaxation of a magnetic loop that contains braided magnetic flux but no net current or helicity. The loop is subject to line-tied bou…
Dynamics of braided coronal loops - I. Onset of magnetic reconnection
A. L. Wilmot-Smith, D. I. Pontin, G. Hornig
The response of the solar coronal magnetic field to small-scale photospheric boundary motions including the possible formation of current sheets via the Parker scenario is one of o…
