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…

Suppression of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection in the High Ion , Strong Guide Field Limit

Carlos A. Giai, Colby C. Haggerty, Michael A. Shay +1

In magnetic reconnection, the ion bulk outflow speed and ion heating have been shown to be set by the available reconnecting magnetic energy, i.e., the energy stored in the reconne…

The Kinetic Analogue of the Pressure-Strain Interaction

Sarah A. Conley, James Juno, Jason M. TenBarge +4

Energy transport in weakly collisional plasma systems is often studied with fluid models and diagnostics. However, the applicability of fluid models is necessarily limited when col…

Simulation Models for Exploring Magnetic Reconnection

Michael Shay, Subash Adhikari, Naoki Beesho +22

Simulations have played a critical role in the advancement of our knowledge of magnetic reconnection. However, due to the inherently multiscale nature of reconnection, it is imposs…

Ohm's Law, the Reconnection Rate, and Energy Conversion in Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection

Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Kevin Genestreti +12

Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous plasma process that transforms magnetic energy into particle energy during eruptive events throughout the universe. Reconnection not only conv…
