Notes. The columns, from left to right, show, respectively, the case name, the corresponding Lundquist number, the Alfvén speed formula for the resistivity, the minimum and maximum available resistivity values, and the time and radius of slow breakout (see the text in this section). The cases S4C and IDEAL are only discussed in the appendix.
