dc.descriptionReconnection rate is found for the canonical simplest case of steady-state two-dimensional symmetric reconnection in an incompressible plasma by matching of outer Petschek solution and internal diffusion region solution. The reconnection rate obtained naturally incorporates both Sweet-Parker and Petschek regimes, the latter seems to be possible only for the case with strongly localized resistivity.
