The purpose of this project is to calculate the local helicity dissipation relative to the local magnetic energy dissipation during magnetic reconnection. It is thought that magnetic helicity is a globally conserved quantity. Therefore the local helicity dissipation should be small compared to magnetic energy dissipation during reconnection.
