Abstract: |
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in exploring
the properties of resistive magnetic reconnection layers. This was
spurred on by the observations that at high Lundquist number these
systems depart from the traditional Sweet–Parker scaling, opening the
possibility of so-called fast resistive magnetic reconnection. This
proceedings presents my recent efforts at simulating resistive
magnetic reconnection layers in high Lundquist number systems
highlighting the numerical algorithms, simulation results and
convergence behavior. |
