The fundamental physics of magnetic reconnection in laboratory and space plasmas is
reviewed by discussing results from theory, numerical simulations, observations from space …

Magnetic reconnection is a process of magnetic field topology change, which is one of the
most fundamental processes happening in magnetized plasmas. In most astrophysical …

Magnetic reconnection, topological changes in magnetic fields, is a fundamental process in
magnetized plasmas. It is associated with energy release in regions of magnetic field …

The solar dynamo continues to pose a challenge to observers and theoreticians.
Observations of the solar surface reveal a magnetic field with a complex, hierarchical …

We study the effects of turbulence on magnetic reconnection using three-dimensional direct
numerical simulations. This is the first attempt to test a model of fast magnetic reconnection …

This three-volume series presents the ideas, models and approaches essential to
understanding plasma dynamics and self-organization for researchers and graduate …

The following sections are included: The spheromak as a fusion reactor Accelerated
spheromaks Tokamak Fuel injection Helicity injection current drive in tokamaks Colliding …

We construct a magnetic helicity conserving dynamo theory that incorporates a calculated
magnetic helicity current. In this model the fluid helicity plays a small role in large-scale …

Magnetic field lines in astrophysical plasmas are expected to be frozen-in at scales larger
than the ion gyroradius. The rapid reconnection of magnetic-flux structures with dimensions …

It has been established that the Sweet–Parker current layer in high Lundquist number
reconnection is unstable to the super-Alfvénic plasmoid instability. Past two-dimensional …
