Strauss, H.R. (1993). Fast Three dimensional driven reconnection. Geophysical Research Letters 20: doi: 10.1029/93GL00241. issn: 0094-8276.

Fast driven reconnection in a three dimensional axially bounded flux tube is studied in numerical simulations and in a simple analytic model. Numerical examples are given in which the reconnection time is a very weak function of resistivity &eegr;. The data is consistent with a reconnection time scaling as ‖log &eegr;‖. A simple analytic model agrees with many features of the computational data. ¿American Geophysical Union 1993
