Dynamic Topology and Flux Rope Evolution During Non-linear Tearing of 3D Null Point Current Sheets
P. F. Wyper, D. I Pontin
In this work the dynamic magnetic field within a tearing-unstable three-dimensional (3D) current sheet about a magnetic null point is described in detail. We focus on the evolution…

Non-linear Tearing of 3D Null Point Current Sheets
P. F. Wyper, D. I Pontin
The manner in which the rate of magnetic reconnection scales with the Lundquist number in realistic three-dimensional (3D) geometries is still an unsolved problem. It has been demo…

Reconnection at 3D Magnetic Null Points: Effect of Current Sheet Asymmetry
Peter F Wyper, Rekha Jain
Asymmetric current sheets are likely to be prevalent in both astrophysical and laboratory plasmas with complex three dimensional (3D) magnetic topologies. This work presents kinema…
