摘要
We confirm that our analysis, based on the conventional linear boundary layer theory, does not include the errors claimed by the Comment by Bhattacharjee, Fitzpatrick, and Wang (hereafter BFW) [Phys. Plasmas 8, 374 (2001)] and demonstrates the new reconnection process described by two reconnected fluxes forced to differ by the non-constant-psi matching. The difference between this conventional theory and BFW's ideal magnetohydrodynamic similarity solution related to the Sweet-Parker time scale is discussed. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
