A cancellation problem in hybrid particle-in-cell schemes due to finite particle size
A. Stanier, L. Chacon, A. Le
The quasi-neutral hybrid particle-in-cell algorithm with kinetic ions and fluid electrons is a popular model to study multi-scale problems in laboratory, space, and astrophysical p…
Three-Dimensional Stability of Current Sheets Supported by Electron Pressure Anisotropy
Ari Le, Adam Stanier, Bill Daughton +4
The stability of electron current sheets embedded within the reconnection exhaust is studied with a 3D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulation. The electron current layers studie…
Formation of Power-law Electron Energy Spectra in Three-dimensional Low- Magnetic Reconnection
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Hui Li +2
While observations have suggested that power-law electron energy spectra are a common outcome of strong energy release during magnetic reconnection, e.g., in solar flares, kinetic…
Influence of 3D plasmoid dynamics on the transition from collisional to kinetic reconnection
A. Stanier, W. Daughton, A. Le +2
Within the resistive magnetohydrodynamic model, high-Lundquist number reconnection layers are unstable to the plasmoid instability, leading to a turbulent evolution where the recon…
