Estimation of the squashing degree within a three-dimensional domain

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Context. The study of the magnetic topology of magnetic fields aims at determining the key sites for the development of magnetic reconnection. Quasi-separatrix layers (QSLs), regions of strong connectivity gradients, are topological structures where intense-electric currents preferentially build-up, and where, later on, magnetic reconnection occurs.
