Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetosphere
TL;DR: In the standard model of collisionless magnetic reconnection, the diffusion region consists of two substructures: an electron diffusion region is embedded in an ion diffusion region, whose scales are based on the electron and ion inertial lengths as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a systematic comparison of different methods for finding magnetic nulls and flow stagnation points in space plasmas, and define a magnetic field containing fourteen magnetic null points whose positions and types are known to arbitrary precision.

On the identification of a vortex
Jinhee Jeong,Fazle Hussain +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a definition of vortex in an incompressible flow in terms of the eigenvalues of the symmetric tensor, which captures the pressure minimum in a plane perpendicular to the vortex axis at high Reynolds numbers, and also accurately defines vortex cores at low Reynolds numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of turbulent boundary layers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the formation of low-speed streaks in the region very near the wall, which interact with the outer portions of the flow through a process of gradual lift-up, then sudden oscillation, bursting, and ejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
A general classification of three-dimensional flow fields
TL;DR: In this paper, the geometry of solution trajectories for three first-order coupled linear differential equations can be related and classified using three matrix invariants for elementary three-dimensional flow patterns defined by instantaneous streamlines for flow at and away from no slip boundaries for both compressible and incompressible flow.

TL;DR: The Fast Plasma Investigation (FPI) was developed for flight on the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to measure the differential directional flux of magnetospheric electrons and ions with unprecedented time resolution to resolve kinetic-scale plasma dynamics as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: To achieve mission objectives, the calibration determined on the ground will be refined in space to ensure all eight magnetometers are precisely inter-calibrated, and the information flow that provides the data on the rapid time scale needed for mission success is described.
