Fast Magnetic Reconnection induced by Resistivity Gradients in 2D Magnetohydrodynamics
Authors: Shan-Chang Lin (Dartmouth College), Yi-Hsin Liu (Dartmouth College), Xiaocan Li (Dartmouth College) Using 2-dimensional(2D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations, we show that Petschek-type magnetic reconnection canView More
