激光驱动亥姆霍兹电容线圈靶的磁重联实验已经提出并进行了多年.当实验中的金属板被强激光照射时产生自由电子,这些自由电子的运动在连接两金属板的两个平行线圈中产生电流,由两个平行线圈内部电流产生的磁场之间随即发生重联.该实验不同于其他直接由Biermann电池效应所产生高β(等离子体热压与磁压的比值)环境下的磁重联实验.对该类实验进行了3维磁流体动力学数值模拟,首次展示了亥姆霍兹电容器线圈靶如何驱动磁重联的过程.数值模拟结果清楚地表明,磁重联的出流等离子体在线圈周围发生与实验结果相一致的堆积现象.线圈电流产生的磁场可高达100 T,使得磁重联区域周围的等离子体β值达到10^-2.与实验室结果进行比较,数值模拟重复了实验展示的大多数特征,可有助于深入认识和理解实验结果背后的物理学原理. 相似文献

该文通过综述相关研究成果,对日冕亮点的观测特征和供能机制进行了总结和评论.日冕亮点是发生在过渡区和低日冕的小尺度局地增亮现象,经常在X射线和极紫外波段观测到,其寿命在5～40 h之间.日冕亮点的产生和演化与双极磁场的相互作用紧密相关.对于日冕亮点的供能机制,目前主要存在三种观点:(1)磁场对消的观点,当不同极性的磁场区域相互靠近时,局地发生磁重联,并在重联区域加热等离子体,从而导致X射线和极紫外辐射的增强;(2)分隔线重联,与日冕亮点相联系的磁场结构可以形成分隔线重联位形,沿分隔线的快速磁场重联导致过渡区和日冕局地的等离子体被加热,从而产生日冕亮点;(3)光球水平运动所诱发的电流片为亮点提供了能量来源.近期研究表明,三种机制可能同时作用,为亮点提供所需的能量. 相似文献

A review of the present status of the theory of magnetic reconnection is given. In strongly collisional plasmas reconnection proceeds via resistive current sheets, i.e. quasi-stationary macroscopic Sweet-Parker sheets at intermediate values of the magnetic Reynolds numberR
m
, or mirco-current sheets in MHD turbulence, which develops at highR
m
. In hot, dilute plasmas the reconnection dynamics is dominated by nondissipative effects, mainly the Hall term and electron inertia. Reconnection rates are found to depend only on the ion mass, being independent of the electron inertia and the residual dissipation coefficients. Small-scale whistler turbulence is readily excited giving rise to an anomalous electron viscosity. Hence reconnection may be much more rapid than predicted by conventional resistive theory. 相似文献

Reconnection is the most efficient way to release the energy accumulated in the tense astrophysical magnetoplasmas. As such
it is a basic paradigm of energy conversion in the universe. Astrophysical reconnection is supposed to heat plasmas to high
temperatures, it drives fast flows, winds and jets, it accelerates particles and leads to structure formation. Reconnection
can take place only after a local breakdown of the plasma ideality, enabling a change of the magnetic connection between plasma
elements. After Giovanelli first suggested magnetoplasma discharges in 1946, reconnection has usually been identified with
vanishing magnetic field regions. However, for the last ten years a discussion has been going on about the structure of 3
D reconnection, e.g., whether in 3 D it is possible also without magnetic nulls or not. We first shortly review the relevant
magnetostatic and kinematic fluid theory results to argue than that a kinetic approach is necessary to reveal the generic
three-dimensional structure and dynamics of reconnection in collisionless astrophysical plasmas. We present results about
the 3 D structure of kinetic reconnection in initially antiparallel magnetic fields. They were obtained by selfconsistently
considering ion and electron inertia as well as dissipative wave-particle resonances. In this approach reconnection is a natural
consequence of the instability of thin current sheets. We present the results of a nonlocal linear dispersion theory and describe
the nonlinear evolution of the instability using numerical particle code simulations. The decay of thin current sheets directly
leads to a configurational instability and three-dimensional dynamic reconnection. We report the resulting generic magnetic
field structure. It contains pairs of magnetic nulls, connected by separating magnetic flux surfaces through which the plasma
flows and along which reconnection induces large parallel electric fields. Our results are illustrated by virtual reality
views and movies, both stored on the attached CD-ROM and also being available from the Internet.

A short summary of recent progress in measuring and understanding turbulence during magnetic reconnection in laboratory plasmas
is given. Magnetic reconnection is considered as a primary process to dissipate magnetic energy in laboratory and astrophysical
plasmas. A central question concerns why the observed reconnection rates are much faster than predictions made by classical
theories, such as the Sweet–Parker model based on MHD with classical Spitzer resistivity. Often, the local resistivity is
conjectured to be enhanced by turbulence to accelerate reconnection rates either in the context of the Sweet–Parker model
or by facilitating setup of the Pestchek model. Measurements at a dedicated laboratory experiment, called MRX or Magnetic
Reconnection Experiment, have indicated existence of strong electromagnetic turbulence in current sheets undergoing fast reconnection.
The origin of the turbulence has been identified as right-hand polarized whistler waves, propagating obliquely to the reconnecting
field, with a phase velocity comparable to the relative drift velocity. These waves are consistent with an obliquely propagating
electromagnetic lower-hybrid drift instability driven by drift speeds large compared to the Alfven speed in high-beta plasmas.
Interestingly, this instability may explain electromagnetic turbulence also observed in collisionless shocks, which are common
in energetic astrophysical phenomena. 相似文献

Three-dimensional (3D) magnetic reconnection is taking place commonly in astrophysical and space plasmas, especially in solar flares which are rich sources of highly energetic particles. One of the proposed mechanisms for steady-state 3D magnetic reconnection is “torsional spine reconnection”. By using the magnetic and electric fields for “torsional spine reconnection”, we numerically investigate the features of test particle acceleration with input parameters for the solar corona. We show that efficient acceleration of a relativistic proton is possible near the null point where it can gain up to 100 MeV of kinetic energy within a few milliseconds. However, varying the injection position results in different scenarios for proton acceleration. A proton is most efficiently accelerated when it is injected at the point where the magnetic field lines change their curvature in the fan plane. Moreover, a proton injected far away from the null point cannot be accelerated and, even in some cases, it is trapped in the magnetic field. In addition, adopting either spatially uniform or non-uniform localized plasma resistivity does not much influence the features of trajectory. 相似文献

Motivated by the problem of magnetic reconnection in turbulent astrophysical plasmas with a strong magnetic field, in particular, in solar flares, we have calculated the probability of occurrence of various topological structures of three-dimensional reconnection at the null point of a random magnetic field. We have established that the peculiar nonaxisymmetric structure with six asymptotic directions, the six-tailed structure, also called the improper radial null, plays a dominant role. All the remaining structures, in particular, the axisymmetric ones (the proper radial nulls), occur with a much lower probability. The fundamental feature of the six-tailed structure is that at large distances it is approximately reduced to the classical two-dimensional X-type structure. 相似文献

The process of magnetic reconnection in anisotropic plasmas is studied numerically using a 2-dimensional, 3-component hybrid simulation. The results of the calculation show that, when the plasma pressure in the direction perpendicular to magnetic field is larger than that in the parallel direction (e.g. P/P = 1.5), instability may greatly increase, speeding up the rate of reconnection. When P is smaller than P, (e.g., when P/P = 0.6), fire hose instability appears, which will restrain the tearing mode instability and the process of magnetic reconnection. 相似文献

The present review concerns the relevance of collisionless reconnection in the astrophysical context. Emphasis is put on recent developments in theory obtained from collisionless numerical simulations in two and three dimensions. It is stressed that magnetic reconnection is a universal process of particular importance under collisionless conditions, when both collisional and anomalous dissipation are irrelevant. While collisional (resistive) reconnection is a slow, diffusive process, collisionless reconnection is spontaneous. On any astrophysical time scale, it is explosive. It sets on when electric current widths become comparable to the leptonic inertial length in the so-called lepton (electron/positron) “diffusion region”, where leptons de-magnetise. Here, the magnetic field contacts its oppositely directed partner and annihilates. Spontaneous reconnection breaks the original magnetic symmetry, violently releases the stored free energy of the electric current, and causes plasma heating and particle acceleration. Ultimately, the released energy is provided by mechanical motion of either the two colliding magnetised plasmas that generate the current sheet or the internal turbulence cascading down to lepton-scale current filaments. Spontaneous reconnection in such extended current sheets that separate two colliding plasmas results in the generation of many reconnection sites (tearing modes) distributed over the current surface, each consisting of lepton exhausts and jets which are separated by plasmoids. Volume-filling factors of reconnection sites are estimated to be as large as \({<}10^{-5}\) per current sheet. Lepton currents inside exhausts may be strong enough to excite Buneman and, for large thermal pressure anisotropy, also Weibel instabilities. They bifurcate and break off into many small-scale current filaments and magnetic flux ropes exhibiting turbulent magnetic power spectra of very flat power-law shape \(W_b\propto k^{-\alpha }\) in wavenumber k with power becoming as low as \(\alpha \approx 2\). Spontaneous reconnection generates small-scale turbulence. Imposed external turbulence tends to temporarily increase the reconnection rate. Reconnecting ultra-relativistic current sheets decay into large numbers of magnetic flux ropes composed of chains of plasmoids and lepton exhausts. They form highly structured current surfaces, “current carpets”. By including synchrotron radiation losses, one favours tearing-mode reconnection over the drift-kink deformation of the current sheet. Lepton acceleration occurs in the reconnection-electric field in multiple encounters with the exhausts and plasmoids. This is a Fermi-like process. It results in power-law tails on the lepton energy distribution. This effect becomes pronounced in ultra-relativistic reconnection where it yields extremely hard lepton power-law energy spectra approaching \(F(\gamma )\propto \gamma ^{-1}\), with \(\gamma \) the lepton energy. The synchrotron radiation limit becomes substantially exceeded. Relativistic reconnection is a probable generator of current and magnetic turbulence, and a mechanism that produces high-energy radiation. It is also identified as the ultimate dissipation mechanism of the mechanical energy in collisionless magnetohydrodynamic turbulent cascades via lepton-inertial-scale turbulent current filaments. In this case, the volume-filling factor is large. Magnetic turbulence causes strong plasma heating of the entire turbulent volume and violent acceleration via spontaneous lepton-scale reconnection. This may lead to high-energy particle populations filling the whole volume. In this case, it causes non-thermal radiation spectra that span the entire interval from radio waves to gamma rays. 相似文献

Flux pile-up magnetic reconnection is traditionally considered only for incompressible plasmas. The question addressed in this paper is whether the pile-up scalings with resistivity are robust when plasma compressibility is taken into account. A simple analytical argument makes it possible to understand why the transition from a highly compressible limit to the incompressible one is difficult to discern in typical simulations spanning a few decades in resistivity. From a practical standpoint, however, flux pile-up reconnection in a compressible plasma can lead to anomalous electric resistivity in the current sheet and flare-like energy release of magnetic energy in the solar corona. 相似文献
