Simulations of the Biermann battery mechanism in two-fluid partially ionised plasmas
David Martínez-Gómez, Beatrice Popescu Braileanu, Elena Khomenko +1
In the absence of an initial seed, the Biermann battery term of a non-ideal induction equation acts as a source that generates weak magnetic fields. These fields are then amplified…

An introductory guide to fluid models with anisotropic temperatures Part 1 -- CGL description and collisionless fluid hierarchy
P. Hunana, A. Tenerani, G. P. Zank +7
We present a detailed guide to advanced collisionless fluid models that incorporate kinetic effects into the fluid framework, and that are much closer to the collisionless kinetic…

New closures for more precise modeling of Landau damping in the fluid framework
P. Hunana, G. P. Zank, M. Laurenza +5
Incorporation of kinetic effects such as Landau damping into a fluid framework was pioneered by Hammett and Perkins PRL 1990, by obtaining closures of the fluid hierarchy, where th…
