2. Abstract 2D 2fluid simulations with finite electron inertia
Turbulence occurs when β is small by secondary instability, which are excited by large gradients in guide-field (see Mathaeous for turbulent reconnection).
This turbulence does not affect the reconnection rate (altough the group of Cho, Lazarian, & Vishinac conclude reconnection rate is enhanced by turbulence.).

3. Model Collisionless, 2D 2-fluid model X-y plane
Bx=Bxo tanh***: bipolar current
Bz=3Bxo
512 x 256 grid
Mass ratio Mi/Me=100

4. Stabilizing factors Large guide field (Bz>10Bxo)
Higher temperature (β>0.2)
The omission of ion dynamics

5. Simulations
Kelvin-helmholtz instability (see Arzner & Scholer for hybrid simulation of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability coupled with fire hose instability)

6. Central Region

7. Growth rate
Reconnection rate does not depend on the turbulence.
