Comparison of Different agyrotropy Measures
AG | Q | Dng | A∅e | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Rotation Invariant | I3 | I2 | I2 | I2 |
Unique Gyrotropy Defined | Y | Y | Y | N |
Field aligned measure independant of P‖ | Y | N | N | Y |
Uniform Scaling | Y | Na | N | Y |
Trace EDR in Harris reconnection | Y | Y | Y | Y |
Trace EDR in Force-free reconnection | Y | Y | Y | N |
The scaling depends on P‖ when the tensor is field aligned.
