A Robust Method for Handling Low Density Regions in Hybrid Simulations for Collisionless Plasmas

Takanobu Amano, Katsuaki Higashimori, Keisuke Shirakawa

A robust method to handle vacuum and near vacuum regions in hybrid simulations for space and astrophysical plasmas is presented. The conventional hybrid simulation model dealing wi…

Transport enhancement and suppression in turbulent magnetic reconnection: A self-consistent turbulence model

Nobumitsu Yokoi, Katsuaki Higashimori, Masahiro Hoshino

Through the enhancement of transport, turbulence is expected to contribute to the fast reconnection. However the effects of turbulence are not so straightforward. In addition to th…

Explosive Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection

Katsuaki Higashimori, Nobumitsu Yokoi, Masahiro Hoshino

We report simulation results for turbulent magnetic reconnection obtained using a newly developed Reynolds-averaged magnetohydrodynamics model. We find that the initial Harris curr…

The Relation between Ion Temperature Anisotropy and Formation of Slow Shocks in Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection

Katsuaki Higashimori, Masahiro Hoshino

We perform a two-dimensional simulation by using an electromagnetic hybrid code to study the formation of slow-mode shocks in collisionless magnetic reconnection in low beta plasma…
