Purpose

The purpose of this project is to calculate the local helicity dissipation (using co-helicity push mode) relative to the local loss of magnetic energy during magnetic reconnection. It is thought that magnetic helicity is a globally conserved quantity. Therefore the local helicity dissipation should be when compared to magnetic energy losses in the diffusion region.
