In resistive relativistic reconnection, inflow speed scales as (sigma/S)^0.11 instead of the predicted (sigma/S)^0.5, because magnetic energy is converted mostly into thermal energy, with a compressibility factor scaling as sigma^-0.47.

Energy conversion and scaling analysis of relativistic magnetic reconnection
In resistive relativistic reconnection, inflow speed scales as (sigma/S)^0.11 instead of the predicted (sigma/S)^0.5, because magnetic energy is converted mostly into thermal energy, with a compressibility factor scaling as sigma^-0.47.
