Importance of accurate consideration of the electron inertia in hybrid-kinetic simulations of collisionless plasma turbulence: 1. The 2D limit

Neeraj Jain, Patricio Muñoz, Meisam Farzalipour Tabriz +2

The dissipation mechanism of the magnetic energy in turbulent collisionless space and astrophysical plasmas is still not well understood. Its investigation requires efficient kinet…
