Impulsive Nature in Collisional Driven Reconnection

摘要

Compressible magnetohydrodynamic simulation is carried out in order toinvestigate energy relaxation process of the driven magnetic reconnection in an open finite system through a long time calculation. It is found the a very impulsive energy release occurs in an intermittent fashion through magnetic reconnection for a continuous magnetic flux injection on the boundary. In the impulsive phase, the reconnection rate is remarkably enhanced up to more than ten times of the driving rate on the boundary.
