Viscous Effects on Nonlinear Double Tearing Mode and Plasmoid Formation in Adjacent Harris Sheets

Viscous Effects on Nonlinear Double Tearing Mode and Plasmoid Formation in Adjacent Harris Sheets

In this paper, we study the effects of viscosity on the evolution of the double tearing mode (DTM) in a pair of adjacent Harris sheets based on the resistive MHD model in the NIMROD code. Similar to the tearing mode in the conventional single Harris sheet, a transition is observed in the generation...
