Effects of turbulence on magnetic reconnection: 3D numerical simulations

Abstract

Abstract Turbulent reconnection is studied by means of three dimensional (3D) compressible magnetohydrodynamical numerical calculations. The process of homogeneous turbulence is set up by adding three-dimensional solenoidal random forcing implemented in the spectral space at small wave numbers with no correlation between velocity and forcing. We apply the initial Harris current sheet configuration together with a density …
