Abstract
The results of numerical simulation and theoretical studies of processes which are responsible for the spontaneous reconnection of magnetic field lines are presented in this paper. The dynamics and stabilization of tearing-instability have been studied as well as the influence of effective collisions of nonlinear processes.Keywords
