The Spontaneous Reconnection of Force Free Magnetic Field
1993
International Astronomical Union Colloquium
AbstractTwo dimensional, three components compressible MHD equations are solved with multistep implicit scheme. The spontaneous reconnection of current sheets with force free field background is simulated. In comparison with the case where the background is potential field, a great difference is found. Our conclusion is that the force free magnetic field can accelerate reconnection. It may have important scientific significance to solar physics, for force free field is widely present in solar atmosphere.
