Velocity space origins of pressure-strain interaction in multi-population distributions and its application to magnetic reconnection
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, Paul A. Cassak, Sarah Conley +7
A forefront research question is how energy evolves in weakly collisional plasmas for which departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) are significant. The standard appr…
Factors Controlling the Statistics of Magnetic Reconnection in MHD Turbulence
M. B. Khan, M. A. Shay, S. Oughton +9
We study the statistics of dynamical quantities associated with magnetic reconnection events embedded in a sea of strong background magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence using direc…
Flow Crossover and Parallel Outflow during Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
Theerasarn Pianpanit, Kittipat Malakit, Pakkapawn Prapan +5
Using particle-in-cell simulations that label ions and electrons according to their initial inflow region, we find that during 2D collisionless magnetic reconnection, the bulk flow…
The Enhancement of Ion Heating in Kinetic, Anti-Parallel Reconnection in the Presence of a Flow Shear
Colby C. Haggerty, Derek Sikorski, Michael A. Shay +4
We investigate the kinetic effects of upstream, magnetic field-aligned, flow shear on anti-parallel magnetic reconnection using 2.5D Particle-In-Cell simulations. Our results demon…
Identifying the Growth Phase of Magnetic Reconnection using Pressure-Strain Interaction
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, Paul A. Cassak, Alex Chasapis +3
Magnetic reconnection often initiates abruptly and then rapidly progresses to a nonlinear quasi-steady state. While satellites frequently detect reconnection events, ascertaining w…
A Magnetic Analog of Pressure-Strain Interaction
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, P. A. Cassak
We study the evolution equation for magnetic energy density for a non-relativistic magnetized plasma in the (Lagrangian) reference frame comoving with the electron bulk velocity. A…
