Reconnection in a weakly stochastic field

A Lazarian, ET Vishniac - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the effect of weak, small-scale magnetic field structure on the rate of
reconnection in a strongly magnetized plasma. This affects the rate of reconnection by …

Reconnection in photospheric-chromospheric current sheet and coronal heating

P Kumar, N Kumar, W Uddin - Plasma Physics Reports, 2011 - Springer
It has been observed by various ground and space based solar missions that magnetic
reconnection occurs frequently in the photosphere-chromosphere region as well as in the …

Reconnection via the tearing instability

A Lazarian, ET Vishniac - arxiv preprint astro-ph/9804166, 1998 - arxiv.org
We discuss the role of tearing instabilities in magnetic reconnection. In three dimensions this
instability leads to the formation of strong Alfvenic waves that remove plasma efficiently from …

Forced MHD turbulence simulations for coronal loop heating

Z Romeou, M Velli, G Einaudi - AIP Conference Proceedings, 2006 - pubs.aip.org
In this work we revisit the question of whether the assumption of a turbulent photosphere
provides an efficient mechanism for the disposition of energy in the solar corona. Through a …

[HTML][HTML] A Reduced MHD Turbulence Numerical Approach On Coronal Loop Heating: Deriving Scaling Laws

Z Romeou, M Velli, G Einaudi - Second Solar Orbiter Workshop, 2007 - adsabs.harvard.edu
We have carried out incompressible 2D Reduced MHD simulations to extensively
investigate the long time statistical behavior of a coronal loop subject to magnetic forcing …
