Multi-Scale Kinetic Simulation of Magnetic Reconnection With Dynamically Adaptive Meshes

Magnetic reconnection is essentially a multi-scale phenomenon, driven by kinetic process in microscopic region and enabling explosive energy conversion from magnetic field energy to plasma kinetic energy in large area. It has been poorly understood how the kinetic process around the x-line connects...
