Dependence of the reconnection rate Vrec on the Lundquist number S for simulations without forcing at early times, and for different values of plasma−β. The dashed black line represents the Sweet–Parker scaling of Vrec ∝ S−1/2. Some circles and squares are overlapped. This is the case for intermediate values of β, between 2 and 18, for both S = 103 and 104.
