Plasmoid Instability in High-Lundquist-Number Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Min Huang, A. Bhattacharjee
Our understanding of magnetic reconnection in resistive magnetohydrodynamics has gone through a fundamental change in recent years. The conventional wisdom is that magnetic reconne…

Fast Reconnection in High-Lundquist-Number Plasmas Due to Secondary Tearing Instabilities
A. Bhattacharjee, Yi-Min Huang, H. Yang +1
Thin current sheets in systems of large size that exceed a critical value of the Lundquist number are unstable to a super-Alfvenic tearing instability. The scaling of the growth ra…
