摘要:

本文报道了一种新的具有面外(引导)磁场的快速磁重联机制,其中电子压各向异性在广义欧姆定律中起着关键作用,它甚至支配着霍尔项。这种行为的物理原因的描述和二维流体模拟被用来确认的结果。电子压力各向异性导致面外磁场形成与霍尔磁场极性相反的四极结构,并产生色散波。除了对理解是什么导致重联快速很重要之外,这种机制应该在等离子体中占主导地位,低等离子体β和高面内等离子体β,电子温度相当于或大于离子温度,因此它可能与太阳风和一些托卡马克有关。

英文摘要:

A new regime of fast magnetic reconnection with an out-of-plane (guide) magnetic field is reported in which the key role is played by an electron pressure anisotropy described by the Chew-Goldberger-Low gyrotropic equations of state in the generalized Ohm's law, which even dominates the Hall term. A description of the physical cause of this behavior is provided and two-dimensional fluid simulations are used to confirm the results. The electron pressure anisotropy causes the out-of-plane magnetic field to develop a quadrupole structure of opposite polarity to the Hall magnetic field and gives rise to dispersive waves. In addition to being important for understanding what causes reconnection to be fast, this mechanism should dominate in plasmas with low plasma beta and a high in-plane plasma beta with electron temperature comparable to or larger than ion temperature, so it could be relevant in the solar wind and some tokamaks.
