The creation of turbulence in the reconnection outflow, possibly
involving the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability [1].
This would in principle drive turbulence in the solar wind, at least
locally.
Here the machinery looks like that of the
Longcope school of
gas-dynamical CSHKP.
Note the avoidance of the confusion of moving field lines, with more
sensible flux tubes taking their place.
