Influence of parallel shearing flow on the switch-off effect of magnetic reconnection

Parallel shearing flows significantly affect the structure of the magnetic reconnection layer and generate new shock structures such as intermediate shock (IS) and time-dependent IS. The strength of shock waves (such as slow shock) can be changed and result in the switch-off of magnetic reconnection...
