Journal Article
Wyper, P., & Jain, R. (2011). Torsional magnetic reconnection: The effects of localizing the non-ideal (ηJ) term. Journal of Plasma Physics, 77(06), 843-855. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0022377811000262

Magnetic reconnection in three dimensions (3D) is a natural extension from X-point reconnection in two dimensions. Of central importance in the 3D process is a localized non-ideal region within which the plasma and magnetic field decouple allowing fo...

Torsional magnetic reconnection at three dimensional null points: A phenomenological study (2010)
Journal Article
Wyper, P., & Jain, R. (2010). Torsional magnetic reconnection at three dimensional null points: A phenomenological study. Physics of Plasmas, 17(9), Article 092902. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3480639

Magnetic reconnection around three dimensional (3D) magnetic null points is the natural progression from X-point reconnection in two dimensions. In 3D the separator field lines of the X-point are replaced with the spine line and fan plane (the field...
