Analysis of fast turbulent reconnection with self-consistent determination of turbulence timescale
Fabien Widmer, Jörg Büchner, Nobumitsu Yokoi
We present results of Reynolds-averaged turbulence model simulation on the problem of magnetic reconnection. In the model, in addition to the mean density, momentum, magnetic field…

Electron acceleration by turbulent plasmoid reconnection
X. Zhou, J. Buechner, F. Widmer +1
In space and astrophysical plasmas, like in planetary magnetospheres, as that of Mercury,energetic electrons are often found near current sheets (CSs), which hints at electron acce…

Turbulent Plasmoid Reconnection
Fabien Widmer, Jörg Büchner, Nobumitsu Yokoi
The plasmoid instability may lead to fast magnetic reconnection through long current sheets(CS). It is well known that large-Reynolds-number plasmas easily become turbulent. We add…
