Magnetic Reconnection: MHD Theory and Applications

Magnetic reconnection is on the middle of many dynamic phenomena within the universe, similar to sunlight flares, geomagnetic substorms and tokamak disruptions. Written through international leaders at the topic, this quantity presents a entire review of this basic procedure. insurance supplies either a pedagogical account of the elemental concept and a wide-ranging assessment of the actual phenomena created by way of reconnection--from laboratory machines, the Earth's magnetosphere, and the Sun's surroundings to flare stars and astrophysical accretion disks.

83) 0 Inside the contour γ+ , the function f (α) satisfies the inequality | f (α)| < M1 exp [(1 − a) Im α] , Im α → +∞. 81). 2. 22]. Let a, b, c, and d be positive numbers; let 0 < b < π /2 and |arg(−ik)| < π /2. We consider a function of r , p(r ) = O(r a−1/2 exp(ikr cos b)), analytic for positive value of r and also in the entire region c < |kr | < ∞, |arg(r )| < 1 . Let k Ψ (α) = −2iπ +∞ p(r ) ikr cos α √ dr. 85) From the theory of the SM transform, Ψ (α) is an analytic function in the domain Re(−ik0 (cos α + cos b)) > 0, as |arg(−ik0 )| < |arg(−ik)| + 1 , and then in the strip |Re(α)| < π /2 − |arg(−ik)| + 1 .

At the same time, the surface waves can noticeably contribute to the total far field only for moderate values of kr . For such kr the numerical values of Φ ∓ ϕ + θ± become relevant. 153) is used for accurate computations of the surface waves.

170); that is, s(z) is a piecewise regular, 4Φ-periodic function. 170). 170) one has i 8Φ iR dτ = cos μτ − sin μz n+ 3 z − 4 4Φ 1 . ) We study the analytic continuation of s(z) from any strip of regularity onto the whole complex plane. It is sufficient to consider the strip −3Φ < Re z < Φ. 171), one can write s(z) = i 8Φ iR F(τ ) − F(z − Φ) z +Φ dτ − F(z − Φ). 172) is a meromorphic function on the whole z-plane. 172) can have singularities at the poles of F(z − Φ) but has no singularities on the line Re z = Φ, that is, the points z = Φ + τ are regular points.
