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…
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…
Statistics of Pressure Fluctuations in Turbulent Kinetic Plasmas
Subash Adhikari, William H. Matthaeus, Tulasi N. Parashar +2
In this study we explore the statistics of pressure fluctuations in kinetic collisionless turbulence. A 2.5D kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation of decaying turbulence is use…
