Some remarks on two-dimensional incompressible stationary reconnection
- School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences, University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Fife KY16 9SS (Scotland)
An alternative formulation of the problem of two-dimensional incompressible stationary resistive flows is presented. This formulation is used to (a) investigate the conditions under which a recently established anti-reconnection theorem may be overcome for stationary resistive flows with vanishing viscosity and (b) to rederive a reconnective annihilation solution and discuss its properties in the light of the anti-reconnection theorem. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
