A conservative implicit-PIC scheme for the hybrid kinetic-ion fluid-electron plasma model on curvilinear meshes

A. Stanier, L. Chacon

The hybrid kinetic-ion fluid-electron plasma model is widely used to study challenging multi-scale problems in space and laboratory plasma physics. Here, a novel conservative schem…

Wavelet Methods for Studying the Onset of Strong Plasma Turbulence

Ari Le, Vadim Roytershteyn, Homa Karimabadi +3

Wavelet basis functions are a natural tool for analyzing turbulent flows containing localized coherent structures of different spatial scales. Here, wavelets are used to study the…

The role of guide field in magnetic reconnection driven by island coalescence

A. Stanier, W. Daughton, Andrei N. Simakov +5

A number of studies have considered how the rate of magnetic reconnection scales in large and weakly collisional systems by the modelling of long reconnecting current sheets. Howev…

Analytical Model of Fast Magnetic Reconnection with a Large Guide Field

Andrei N. Simakov, L. Chacón, A. Zocco

Analytical theory of fast magnetic reconnection with a large guide field is presented for the first time. We confirm that two distinct reconnection regimes are possible depending o…

Current sheet bifurcation and collapse in electron magnetohydrodynamics

A. Zocco, L. Chacon, Andrei N. Simakov

Inertial effects in nonlinear magnetic reconnection are studied within the context of 2D electron magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) with resistive and viscous dissipation. Families of no…
