Abstract
The magnetic reconnection processes in multiple periodic current-sheet systems with shear flows near to or greater than the Alfven speed are investigated numerically. The results show that, the magnetic reconne ction processes in the neighbouring current sheets can interact with e ach other. The linear growth rate of the antisymmetric and symmetric m ode magnetic reconnection increases and decreases as the current sheet s become nearer, respectively.
