The FLARE Facility
Hantao Ji, Jongsoo Yoo, Peiyun Shi +53
The Facility for Laboratory Reconnection Experiments (FLARE) has been constructed to study magnetic reconnection in multiple X-line regimes relevant to space, astrophysical, and fu…
Capturing Secondary Kinetic Instabilities in Three-Dimensional Dayside Reconnection Using an Improved Gradient-Based Closure
Kolter Bradshaw, Ammar Hakim, James Juno +3
Magnetic reconnection is a highly dynamic process that excites a wide variety of kinetic waves and instabilities. Transverse current sheet instabilities such as the lower-hybrid dr…
Nonlinear Saturation of the Acoustic Resonant Drag Instability
Ben Y. Israeli, Jonathan Squire, Eric Moseley +1
Resonant drag instabilities (RDIs) are a novel type of dust/fluid instability relevant to a diverse range of astrophysical environments. They are driven by a resonant interaction b…
Computation of Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibria with Voigt Regularization
Yi-Min Huang, Justin Kin Jun Hew, Andrew Brown +1
This work presents the first numerical investigation of using Voigt regularization as a method for obtaining magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibria without the assumption of nested m…
