Numerical study of magnetic island coalescence using magnetohydrodynamics with adaptively embedded particle-in-cell model

Collisionless magnetic reconnection typically requires kinetic treatment that is, in general, computationally expensive compared to fluid-based models. In this study, we use the magnetohydrodynamics with an adaptively embedded particle-in-cell (MHD-AEPIC) model to study the interaction of two magnet...
