Dynamic magnetic reconnection in three space dimensions: Fan current solutions
(1998-03)The problem of incompressible, nonlinear magnetic reconnection in three-dimensional "open" geometries is considered. An analytic treatment shows that dynamic "fan current" reconnection may be driven by superposing long ... -
Exact solutions for steady state, spine, and fan magnetic reconnection
(1996)The problem of steady state, incompressible magnetic reconnection in three dimensions is addressed. It is shown that exact reconnection solutions can be constructed by superposing nonlinear disturbances onto three-dimensional ... -
Exact solutions for steady-state, planar, magnetic reconnection in an incompressible viscous plasma
(American Institute of Physics, 1996-06)The exact planar reconnection analysis of Craig and Henton [Astrophys. J. 450, 280 (1995)] is extended to include the finite viscosity of the fluid and the presence of nonplanar components in the magnetic and velocity ... -
Magnetic reconnection solutions in the presence of multiple nulls
(1999-10)It is known that exact analytic solutions can be constructed for incompressible magnetic reconnection in three space dimensions. In the case of an isolated X-point null, there are two types of reconnection solutions, namely, ... -
The power output of spine and fan magnetic reconnection solutions
(1997-08)The ability of three-dimensional magnetic “spine” and “fan” reconnection solutions to provide flarelike energy release is discussed. It is pointed out, on the basis of exact analytic solutions, that fast dissipation is ...
