Biskamp and Welter (1983) have defined an anomalous resistivity due to shortwavelength turbulence. They reported that this resistivity can be of either sign, and that negative anomalous resistivity in particular can affect the growth of the tearing instability. We use a spectral numerical-simulation code and ancillary diagnostics to analyse the behaviour of resistive magnetic tearing in the presence of turbulence of the sort postulated by Biskamp and Welter. We find that, in general, the ‘anomalous resistivity’ tends to return quickly towards zero even when artificially supported away from zero, and that its effect on tearing-mode behaviour is not consistent with its interpretation as a resistivity. We investigate analytically the behaviour reported by Biskamp and Welter, and the behaviour we observe. We also argue that, while not meaningful as a true resistivity, the ‘anomalous-resistivity’ parameter is a useful diagnostic showing the energy balance of the System – a property we refer to as Alfvénicity – illustrating, for example, the onset of nonlinearity in the tearing process.

We explore the long-term nonlinear evolution of a tearing-mode-unstable sheared-field plasma in a turbulent environment. Two different physical configurations are modeled, and a different computational system is used for each. Results of both sets of calculations show that magnetic tearing arises spontaneously provided that the initial turbulence energy level is below the natural saturation level of the tearing instability.We discuss briefly the relationship between our results and those of previous calculations, concluding that there are no significant unexplainable disagreements.

Abstract ANACONDA Alloy 1870 is a free-cutting high-conductivity copper. It is a deoxidized copper with lead added to impart free-cutting properties. The various and unusual properties of Alloy 1870 make it suitable for many applications in the manufacture of parts machined from rods and for current-carrying studs, nuts and bolts designed for use at normal temperatures. Because it is deoxidized, it is not susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement if heated in a reducing atmosphere. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and shear strength. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-318. Producer or source: Anaconda American Brass Company.
