Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-scale simulations of plasma with iPIC3D
TL;DR: The implicit Particle-in-Cell method for the computer simulation of plasma, and its implementation in a three-dimensional parallel code, called iPIC3D, enables kinetic plasma simulations at magnetohydrodynamics time scales.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There is a growing appreciation that the environmental conditions that we call space weather impact the technological infrastructure that powers the coupled economies around the world as discussed by the authors, and there is also a growing awareness that space weather impacts the technologies that are used in the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Feeding Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection on Macroscopic Scales
TL;DR: Within a MHD approach, a second, completely different and chaotic reconnection process is possible, which is much faster, developing on scales of the order of the Alfvén time, and the areas of reconnection become distributed chaotically over a macroscopic region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collisionless magnetic reconnection in the presence of a guide field
TL;DR: The results of kinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection in Harris current sheets are analyzed in this article, showing that the reconnection rate decreases with the guide field and depends weakly on the mass ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D MHD and multi-fluid model of the SSW in coronal streamers and other structures has been developed using 3D-MHD and multilinear equations.
