The influence of Hall currents, plasma viscosity and electron inertia on magnetic reconnection solutions
(The University of Waikato, 2007)Abstract This thesis examines magnetic reconnection in the solar corona. Magnetic reconnection is the only mechanism which allows the magnetic topology of magnetized plasmas to be changed. Many of the dynamic processes ... -
Viscous effects in planar magnetic X-point reconnection
(E D P Sciences, 2005)The impact of viscous dissipation is considered on magnetic reconnection in closed line-tied magnetic X-points. It is shown that viscous effects can provide fast energy dissipation for disturbances which do not alter the ...
