Numerical modelling of inverse wire array Z-pinch magnetic reconnection

In this paper, a relaxation magnetohydrodynamic model is used to study magnetic reconnection phenomena in pulsed-power-driven Z-pinch inverse wire arrays. We focus on certain characteristics of two distinct modes that differ by resistivity. A magnetic field alignment that is both anti-parallel and o...
