| Abstract: |
We present resistive MHD simulations of magnetic reconnection in the
context of coronal mass ejection current sheets. We hypothesize that
several commonly observed features of solar flares such as
sub-Alfvénic downflows, candle flame shaped post-flare loops, and
current sheet drifting are the result of asymmetry in the inflow
and/or outflow directions during the reconnection process. |
