Scientific paper

An evaluation of helicity for previous flux transfer event models is presented. The theory of three-dimensional magnetic field reconnection is briefly discussed and is defined as a self-organized evolution process of a nonequilibrium dissipative system. Flux transfer events are characterized by a twisted flux tube containing highly correlated fluctuating velocity and magnetic fields. It is suggested that flux transfer events represent a mixed state, with a minimum energy state combined with a maximum cross-helicity state.
