Abstract

We present a new boundary condition for simulations of magnetic reconnection based on the topology of a Klein bottle. When applicable, the new condition is computationally cheaper than fully periodic boundary conditions, reconnects more flux than systems with conducting boundaries, and does not require assumptions about regions external to the simulation as is necessary for open boundaries. The new condition reproduces the expected features of reconnection but cannot be straightforwardly applied in systems with asymmetric upstream plasmas.

克莱因瓶上的磁重联

我们根据克莱因瓶的拓扑结构，提出了一种用于模拟磁重联的新边界条件。在适用时，新条件比完全周期性边界条件的计算成本更低，比具有导电边界的系统重新连接更多磁通量，并且不需要像开放边界那样对模拟外部区域进行假设。新条件再现了重连接的预期特征，但无法直接应用于上游等离子体不对称的系统。

期刊介绍： Physics of Plasmas (PoP), published by AIP Publishing in cooperation with the APS Division of Plasma Physics, is committed to the publication of original research in all areas of experimental and theoretical plasma physics. PoP publishes comprehensive and in-depth review manuscripts covering important areas of study and Special Topics highlighting new and cutting-edge developments in plasma physics. Every year a special issue publishes the invited and review papers from the most recent meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics. PoP covers a broad range of important research in this dynamic field, including: -Basic plasma phenomena, waves, instabilities -Nonlinear phenomena, turbulence, transport -Magnetically confined plasmas, heating, confinement -Inertially confined plasmas, high-energy density plasma science, warm dense matter -Ionospheric, solar-system, and astrophysical plasmas -Lasers, particle beams, accelerators, radiation generation -Radiation emission, absorption, and transport -Low-temperature plasmas, plasma applications, plasma sources, sheaths -Dusty plasmas
