Activation of MHD reconnection on ideal timescales
S. Landi, E. Papini, L. Del Zanna +2
Magnetic reconnection in laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas is often invoked to explain explosive energy release and particle acceleration. However, the timescales involve…
Resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the ideal tearing mode
Simone Landi, Luca Del Zanna, Emanuele Papini +2
We study the linear and nonlinear evolution of the tearing instability on thin current sheets by means of two-dimensional numerical simulations, within the framework of compressibl…
The tearing mode instability of thin current sheets: the transition to fast reconnection in the presence of viscosity
Anna Tenerani, Antonio Franco Rappazzo, Marco Velli +1
This paper studies the growth rate of reconnection instabilities in thin current sheets in the presence of both resistivity and viscosity. In a previous paper, Pucci and Velli (201…
