二维和三维强迫无碰撞重联的标度

The scaling of forced collisionless reconnection in two and three dimensions

Brian P. Sullivan, Barrett N. Rogers

摘要:

本文采用双流体方法模拟了具有周期性边界的无碰撞三维立方体中有限电子惯性下的强迫磁重联。进行比较,以类似的二维(2D)模拟。在这个系统中的重新连接是由一个空间本地化的强制功能,被添加到计算域内的离子动量方程。与以前类似的结果一致,但更大的强制二维模拟[B。沙利文湾N. Rogers和M. A. Shay,Phys.Plasmas 12,122312(2005)],对于足够强的强迫,发现重连过程在2D和3D中都变成Alfvenic,即,基于上游重连磁场,流入速度的比例大致类似于阿尔芬速度的某个分数,并且系统呈现具有0.15量级的耗散区域纵横比的稳定配置。

英文摘要:

This paper presents two-fluid simulations of forced magnetic reconnection with finite electron inertia in a collisionless three-dimensional (3D) cube with periodic boundaries in all three directions. Comparisons are made to analogous two-dimensional (2D) simulations. Reconnection in this system is driven by a spatially localized forcing function that is added to the ion momentum equation inside the computational domain. Consistent with previous results in similar, but larger forced 2D simulations [B. Sullivan, B. N. Rogers, and M. A. Shay, Phys. Plasmas 12, 122312 (2005)], for sufficiently strong forcing the reconnection process is found to become Alfvenic in both 2D and 3D, i.e., the inflow velocity scales roughly like some fraction of the Alfven speed based on the upstream reconnecting magnetic field, and the system takes on a stable configuration with a dissipation region aspect ratio on the order of 0.15.
