Zusammenfassung |
We have analyzed data from 3D fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of turbulent
magnetic reconnection with and without a guide field. Recent 3D simulations demonstrated
that for a strong guide field, the oblique, secondary tearing mode drastically disturbs the
structure of the primary reconnection layer, while for a weak or no guide field, other
instabilities such as the lower-hybrid drift instability or the drift kink instability can also
disturb the reconnection layer. Based on 8 dimensional (t,⃗x,ω,⃗k) analyses of the 3D PIC
simulation data, we systematically investigate when and where each wave/instability occurs
and how they develop and interact with each other. In this presentation, we will show these
simulation results and discuss expected observable features of the turbulent reconnection
process. |
