Plasmoid and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in Sweet-Parker current sheets
N. F. Loureiro, A. A. Schekochihin, D. A. Uzdensky
A 2D linear theory of the instability of Sweet-Parker (SP) current sheets is developed in the framework of Reduced MHD. A local analysis is performed taking into account the depend…
Magnetic reconnection and stochastic plasmoid chains in high-Lundquist-number plasmas
N. F. Loureiro, R. Samtaney, A. A. Schekochihin +1
A numerical study of magnetic reconnection in the large-Lundquist-number (), plasmoid-dominated regime is carried out for up to . The theoretical model of Uzdensky {\i…
Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection in Two Dimensions
N. F. Loureiro, D. A. Uzdensky, A. A. Schekochihin +2
Two-dimensional numerical simulations of the effect of background turbulence on 2D resistive magnetic reconnection are presented. For sufficiently small values of the resistivity (…
Formation of Plasmoid Chains in Magnetic Reconnection
R. Samtaney, N. F. Loureiro, D. A. Uzdensky +2
A detailed numerical study of magnetic reconnection in resistive MHD for very large, previously inaccessible, Lundquist numbers () is reported. Large-aspect-rati…
