Large-scale magnetic reconnection from the point of view of the theory of dynamical systems. Schematic view of the cascade of energy transfer from large to small scales and the window of scales resolved in our simulations. The lower abscissa shows the wavenumber k; corresponding characteristic scales λ = 2π/ k are shown on the upper abscissa. The numeric values on the scale axis correspond to scaling based on typical coronal parameters (for details on scaling, see Section 2).
