Caption: Figure 15.
Left: average thickness 〈δ〉 of the current layer extracted from the FWHM of the current density magnitude profile for the turbulent (solid) and tearing instability (dashed) cases. Right: an estimate of the reconnection rate for these two simulations, as measured from the ratio 〈δ〉/〈L〉. The models are the same as those in Figure 14.
