Power and complexity in stochastic reconnection
Abstract
Previous work has invoked kinetic and magnetic spatial complexities, associated with velocity and magnetic fields u(x,t) and B(x,t), respectively, in order to study magnetic reconnection and diffusion in turbulent and magnetized fluids. In this paper, using the coarse-grained momentum equation, we argue that the fluid jets associated with magnetic reconnection events at an arbitrary scale l in the turbulence inertial range are predominantly …
