Impact of Temperature-dependent resistivity and thermal conduction on plasmoid Instabilities in current sheets in the solar corona
Lei Ni, Ilia I. Roussev, Jun Lin +1
In this paper we investigate, by means of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations, the impact of temperature-dependent resistivity and thermal conduction on the development…
Effects of the non-uniform initial environment and the guide field on the plasmoid instability
Lei Ni, Jun Lin, Nicholas A. Murphy
Effects of non-uniform initial mass density and temperature on the plasmoid instability are studied via 2.5-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) simulations. Our results…
The plasmoid instability during asymmetric inflow magnetic reconnection
Nicholas A. Murphy, Aleida K. Young, Chengcai Shen +2
Theoretical studies of the plasmoid instability generally assume that the reconnecting magnetic fields are symmetric. We relax this assumption by performing two-dimensional resisti…
