Abstract

The magnetic reconnection processes in multiple periodic current-sheet systems with shear flows near to or greater than the Alfvén speed are investigated numerically. The results show that, the magnetic reconnection processes in the neighbouring current sheets can interact with each other. The linear growth rate of the antisymmetric and symmetric mode magnetic reconnection increases and decreases as the current sheets become nearer, respectively.
