Abstract:
We consider a stationary two-dimensional model of magnetic reconnection in plasma. The model includes a current sheet and four MHD shock waves attached to its endpoints. The solution to the problem has been found in an analytical form that admits of efficient numerical implementation. We analyze in detail the structure of the magnetic field in the reconnection region and its variation with model parameters.
