Local conservative regularizations of compressible magnetohydrodynamic and neutral flows
Govind S. Krishnaswami, Sonakshi Sachdev, Anantanarayanan Thyagaraja
Ideal systems like MHD and Euler flow may develop singularities in vorticity (w = curl v). Viscosity and resistivity provide dissipative regularizations of the singularities. In th…

Electron Inertial Effects on Rapid Energy Redistribution at Magnetic X-points
K. G. McClements, A. Thyagaraja, N. Ben Ayed +1
The evolution of non-potential perturbations to a current-free magnetic X-point configuration is studied, taking into account electron inertial effects as well as resistivity. Elec…
