In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

This paper outlines the current understanding of solar flares, mainly focused on
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes responsible for producing a flare. Observations …

Magnetic reconnection plays a critical role in energy conversion during solar eruptions. This
paper presents a set of magnetohydrodynamic experiments for the magnetic reconnection …

We introduce how the catastrophe model for solar eruptions predicted the formation and
development of the long current sheet (CS) and how the observations were used to …

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in a plasma that facilitates the release of
energy stored in the magnetic field by permitting a change in the magnetic topology. In this …

Standard magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory predicts reconnection rate that is far too slow
to account for a wide variety of reconnection events observed in space and laboratory …

Using a recently developed analytical procedure, we determine the rate of magnetic
reconnection in the" standard" model of eruptive solar flares. During the late phase, the …

In this paper, we address the long-term evolution of an idealised double current system
entering reconnection regimes where chaotic behavior plays a prominent role. Our aim is to …

In the present paper, using MPI-AMRVAC, we perform a 2.5 D numerical
magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the dynamics and associated thermodynamical …

We explain two puzzling aspects of Petschek's model for fast reconnection. One is its failure
to occur in plasma simulations with uniform resistivity. The other is its inability to provide …
