Zonal fields as catalysts and inhibitors of turbulence-driven magnetic islands
Daniele Villa, Nicolas Dubuit, Olivier Agullo +1
A novel coalescence process is shown to take place in plasma fluid simulations, leading to the formation of large-scale magnetic islands that become dynamically important in the sy…
Characterizing current structures in 3D hybrid-kinetic simulations of plasma turbulence
Manuela Sisti, Sid Fadanelli, Silvio Sergio Cerri +3
In space and astrophysical plasmas turbulence leads to the development of coherent structures characterized by a strong current density and important magnetic shears. Using hybrid-…
Asymptotic theory of magnetic island saturation in equilibria with a finite current gradient
Andrei Smolyakov, Alexander Poye, Olivier Agullo +2
A novel asymptotic matching procedure is developed to revisit the problem of magnetic island saturation in case of a finite current gradient at the rational surface. Nonlinear disp…
Shear flow effects on double tearing mode global magnetic reconnection
Thibaut Voslion, Olivier Agullo, Peter Beyer +5
The dynamics of a global reconnection in the presence of a poloidal shear flow which is located in between magnetic islands is investigated. Different linear regimes are identified…
