Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Relativistic Plasmoid Chains in a Poynting-dominated Plasma
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the evolution of the plasmoid chain in a Poynting-dominated plasma and found that the initially induced plasmoids trigger a secondary scaling instability, which gradually fills the current sheet with plasoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Numerical Scheme for Resistive Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics Using Method of Characteristics
Makoto Takamoto,Tsuyoshi Inoue +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new numerical method of special relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics with scalar resistivity was proposed, which can treat a range of phenomena, from non-relativistic to relatvistic (shock, contact discontinuity, and Alfven wave).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of the Relativistic Plasmoid-Chain in the Poynting-Dominated Plasma
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the evolution of the plasmoid-chain in a Poynting-dominated plasma and found that the initially induced plasmoids trigger a secondary tearing instability, which gradually fills the current sheet with plasminoids, as has also been observed in the nonrelativistic case.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new numerical method of special relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics with scalar resistivity that can treat a range of phenomena, from non-relativistic to relatvistic (shock, contact discontinuity, and Alfv\'en wave).
Journal ArticleDOI
TURBULENT RECONNECTION in RELATIVISTIC PLASMAS and EFFECTS of COMPRESSIBILITY
TL;DR: In this article, turbulence effects on magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas using 3D resistive magnetohydrodynamics simulations were investigated. And they showed that the reconnection rate became independent of the plasma resistivity due to turbulence effects similarly to non-relativistic cases.
