Some topological aspects of the magnetic reconnection phenomenon are summarized and recent numerical results, derived within a two-fluid model, of two-dimensional collisionless magnetic reconnection in presence of a strong guide field are reported. Both the Alfvèn and the whistler frequency range are investigated by including electron parallel compressibility effects that are related respectively to thermal effects and to density fluctuations. The Hamiltonian character of the system is emphasized as it drives the small scale dynamics through the presence of topological invariants. These determine the formation and the shape of small scale current and vorticity layers inside the magnetic island. Secondary fluid instabilities, mainly of the Kelvin–Helmholtz type, can destabilize these layers when a hydrodynamic type regime is achieved. The inclusion of parallel electron compressibility has stabilizing effects. In view of the limitations of the two-fluid modelling, possible developments are briefly discussed such as the inclusion of Larmor-radius corrections, in lieu of a fully kinetic approach.

This is the second paper in a series of three papers reporting on a study on refilling and rewetting of horizontal tubes. The experimental work has been reported in a previous paper (Chan and Banerjee [1]). This paper concentrates on development of a mathematical model for analysis of the main thermal-hydraulic processes. The resulting set of equations are solved numerically. An explicit finite difference characteristics technique is used to solve the hydraulic equations. To assess the model and the accuracy of the numerical technique used, a relatively simple problem, refilling of a dry horizontal tube with no heat transfer, is investigated. Experimental and calculated results are compared. This problem highlights the hydraulic aspects of the more complicated refilling and rewetting problem which is analyzed in a subsequent paper (Chan and Banerjee [2]).

Mixing of fluids in a cavity under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions is studied with a two-fluid model. This model involves the solution of separate transport equations for zone-averaged variables of each fluid with allowance for interface transport of momentum and energy. The effects of thermal and potential energy driven convection as well as Prandtl number are investigated. The material interface is represented by the contour of the volume fraction separating the fluids. The effect of the buoyancy force due to the initial potential energy of the fluids is found to predominate over thermal buoyancy for comparable Grashof numbers.

Hamiltonian vortices and reconnection in magnetized plasmas are investigated analytically and numerically using a two-fluid model. The equations are written in the Lagrangian form of three fields that are advected with different velocities. This system can be considered as a generalization and extension of the two-dimensional Euler equation for an ordinary fluid. It is pointed out that these equations allow solutions in the form of singular current-vortex filaments, drift-Alfvén vortices and magnetic islands, and admit collisionless magnetic reconnection where magnetic flux is converted into electron momentum and ion vorticity.
