Turbulent reconnection in astrophysical plasmas and quantum fluids etc15 Tracking Number 53Presentation: Session: Magnetohydrodynamics 1 Room: Room F Session start: 10:30 Tue 25 Aug 2015 Yasuhito Narita yasuhito.narita@oeaw.ac.at Affifliation: Space Research Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Graz Topics: - MHD turbulence, - Turbulence in superfluids Abstract: Understanding the origin and the mechanism of reconnection process in collisionless media such as astrophysical plasmas and superfluids remains one of the major challenges in physics. By comparing the induction equation for astrophysical plasmas with the smoothed vorticity equation for superfluids, the possible role of turbulence in triggering collisionless reconnection is highlighted. |
