The Enhancement of Ion Heating in Kinetic, Antiparallel Reconnection in the Presence of a Flow Shear

We investigate the kinetic effects of upstream, magnetic field-aligned flow shear on antiparallel magnetic reconnection using 2.5D particle-in-cell simulations. Our results demonstrate that flow shear significantly alters the reconnection process, leading to enhanced ion heating, reduced outflow spe...
