Abstract
An alternative formulation of the problem of two-dimensional incompressible stationary resistive flows is presented. This formulation is used to (a) investigate the conditions under which a recently established anti-reconnection theorem may be overcome for stationary resistive flows with vanishing viscosity and (b) to rederive a reconnective annihilation solution and discuss its properties in the light of the anti-reconnection theorem.
