A transport-like approach to turbulence-mediated magnetic reconnection
Abstract
A transport-like framework for the study of magnetic reconnection mediated by self-driven turbulence is proposed, based on timescale separation between the reconnection time and the characteristic timescale of the turbulent fluctuations which arise in the reconnection layer. We argue that the mean fields remain on MHD scales even in collisionless cases. These observations provide theoretical justification for an efficient computational approach to this problem, which we discuss.
