Pressure-Strain Interaction: II. Decomposition in Magnetic Field-Aligned Coordinates
Paul A. Cassak, M. Hasan Barbhuiya, H. Arthur Weldon
In weakly collisional and collisionless magnetized plasmas, the pressure-strain interaction describes the rate of conversion between bulk flow and thermal energy density. In this s…
Pressure-Strain Interaction: I. On Compression, Deformation, and Implications For Pi-D
Paul A. Cassak, M. Hasan Barbhuiya
The pressure-strain interaction describes the rate per unit volume that energy is converted between bulk flow and thermal energy in neutral fluids or plasmas. The term has been wri…
Pressure-Strain Interaction: III. Particle-in-Cell Simulations of Magnetic Reconnection
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, Paul A. Cassak
How energy is converted into thermal energy in weakly collisional and collisionless plasma processes such as magnetic reconnection and plasma turbulence has recently been the subje…
Scaling of electron heating by magnetization during reconnection and applications to dipolarization fronts and super-hot solar flares
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, Paul. A. Cassak, Michael. A. Shay +5
Electron ring velocity space distributions have previously been seen in numerical simulations of magnetic reconnection exhausts and have been suggested to be caused by the magnetiz…
First-Principles Theory of the Rate of Magnetic Reconnection in Magnetospheric and Solar Plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Paul Cassak, Xiaocan Li +3
The rate of magnetic reconnection is of the utmost importance in a variety of processes because it controls, for example, the rate energy is released in solar flares, the speed of…
