It has been proposed recently by Loureiro & Boldyrev (2017) and Mallet et al. (2017) that current sheets formed in the inertial range of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence become affected by the tearing instability at scales smaller than a critical scale $\lambda_\mathrm{c}$, larger than the dissipation scale of turbulence. If true, this process can modify the nature of energy cascade at smaller scales, leading to a new, tearing-mediated regime of MHD turbulence. In this Letter we present a…

Kelvin–Helmholtz versus Tearing Instability: What Drives Turbulence in Stochastic Reconnection?

Over the last few years it became clear that turbulent magnetic reconnection and magnetized turbulence are inseparable. It was not only shown that reconnection is responsible for violating the…

Role of reconnection in inertial kinetic-Alfvén turbulence

In a weakly collisional, low-electron-beta plasma, large-scale Alfv\'en turbulence transforms into inertial kinetic-Alfv\'en turbulence at scales smaller than the ion microscale (gyroscale or…

3D turbulent reconnection: Theory, tests, and astrophysical implications

Magnetic reconnection, topological changes in magnetic fields, is a fundamental process in magnetized plasmas. It is associated with energy release in regions of magnetic field annihilation, but this…

Fast Magnetic Reconnection with Turbulence in High Lundquist Number Limit

We use extensive 3D resistive MHD simulations to study how large-scale current sheets will undergo fast reconnection in the high Lundquist number S limit (above ∼104), when the system is subject to…

The Interplay of Magnetically Dominated Turbulence and Magnetic Reconnection in Producing Nonthermal Particles

Magnetized turbulence and magnetic reconnection are often invoked to explain the nonthermal emission observed from a wide variety of astrophysical sources. By means of fully kinetic 2D and 3D…

3D Turbulent Reconnection: 20 Years After

In 1965, Kraichnan proposed that MHD turbulence occurs as a result of collisions between oppositely directed Alfvén wave packets. Recent work has generated some controversy over the nature of…

N numerical evidence is reported showing that in driven incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence the magnetic- and velocity-field fluctuations locally tend to align the directions of their polarizations, providing an explanation for the energy spectrum E(k) is proportional to k(-3/2) that is observed in numerical experiments of strongly magnetized turbulence.
