Cosmological MHD simulations of cluster formation with anisotropic thermal conduction
M. Ruszkowski, D. Lee, M. Bruggen +2
(abridged) The ICM has been suggested to be buoyantly unstable in the presence of magnetic field and anisotropic thermal conduction. We perform first cosmological simulations of ga…

Can conduction induce convection? The non-linear saturation of buoyancy instabilities in dilute plasmas
Michael McCourt, Ian J. Parrish, Prateek Sharma +1
We study the effects of anisotropic thermal conduction on low-collisionality, astrophysical plasmas using two and three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations. For weak magnet…
