Electron cyclotron drift instability and anomalous transport: two-fluid moment theory and modeling

Liang Wang, Ammar Hakim, Bhuvana Srinivasan +1

In the presence of a strong electric field perpendicular to the magnetic field, the electron cross-field (EB) flow relative to the unmagnetized ions can cause the Electron…

Role of the Plasmoid Instability in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Chuanfei Dong, Liang Wang, Yi-Min Huang +2

The plasmoid instability in evolving current sheets has been widely studied due to its effects on the disruption of current sheets, the formation of plasmoids, and the resultant fa…

The island coalescence problem: scaling of reconnection in extended fluid models including higher-order moments

Jonathan Ng, Yi-Min Huang, Ammar Hakim +5

As modeling of collisionless magnetic reconnection in most space plasmas with realistic parameters is beyond the capability of today's simulations, due to the separation between gl…

Comparison of multi-fluid moment models with Particle-in-Cell simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection

Liang Wang, Ammar H. Hakim, A. Bhattacharjee +1

We introduce an extensible multi-fluid moment model in the context of collisionless magnetic reconnection. This model evolves full Maxwell equations, and simultaneously moments of…
