Using the hyperbolic tangent to fit B - field profiles to
estimate the size of the diffusion region returns values for the size of
the region (approximately):
- Diffusion Region Width: 6.9 cm
- Diffusion Region Length: 13.7 cm
While these are just rough estimates for a particular
shot, it is very indicative of other shots, and seems to agree intuitively
with the expected size of the diffusion region. None of this data can be
said to be conclusive yet, however preliminary calculations seem to say
that helicity is relatively conserved compared to magnetic energy.
