Abstract

In the frame of a simple self-consistent model for high-temperature turbulent current sheet (HTCS) /1/, three effects are considered. (i) Gradient instabilities create anamalous plasma diffusion across magnetic field and increase the power of energy release in HTCS. (ii) Penetration of a small transverse component of magnetic field into HTCS also can significantly increase an energy output of HTCS. (iii) There appears electric current circulating around a current sheet at a compression of longitudinal magnetic field. This current induces a Joule heat; however, a total flux of the longitudinal field remains constant.
