System Size Dependence of Collisionless Reconnection Rate

Yi-Min Huang, Naoki Bessho, Li-Jen Chen +2

It is a widely accepted paradigm that collisionless magnetic reconnection proceeds at a universal fast rate of when normalized to a properly defined reconnecting magnetic…

Forced Reconnection in Voigt-Regularized MHD

Andrew Brown, Yi-Min Huang, Amitava Bhattacharjee

Forced reconnection in Voigt-regularized MHD is investigated in the Hahm-Kulsrud-Taylor problem. It is shown that Voigt regularization introduces an early linear phase of reconnect…

Computation of Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibria with Voigt Regularization

Yi-Min Huang, Justin Kin Jun Hew, Andrew Brown +1

This work presents the first numerical investigation of using Voigt regularization as a method for obtaining magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibria without the assumption of nested m…

Three-dimensional plasmoid-mediated reconnection and turbulence in Hall magnetohydrodynamics

Yi-Min Huang, Amitava Bhattacharjee

Plasmoid instability accelerates reconnection in collisional plasmas by transforming a laminar reconnection layer into numerous plasmoids connected by secondary current sheets in t…

Structure of pressure-gradient-driven current singularity in ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium

Yi-Min Huang, Yao Zhou, Joaquim Loizu +2

Singular currents typically appear on rational surfaces in non-axisymmetric ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with a continuum of nested flux surfaces and a continuous rotationa…

Reconnection-Driven Energy Cascade in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Chuanfei Dong, Liang Wang, Yi-Min Huang +3

Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence regulates the transfer of energy from large to small scales in many astrophysical systems, including the solar atmosphere. We perform three-dimension…
