Non ideal Transport Processes in the Solar Atmosphere
B P Pandey, Mark Wardle
Transport coefficients are calculated for a partially ionized plasma consisting of approximately 90% hydrogen and 10\% helium, representative of a model solar atmosphere with an as…

Viscous Heating and Instabilities in the Partially Ionized Solar Atmosphere
B. P. Pandey, Mark Wardle
In weak magnetic fields ($\lesssim 50 \,\mbox{G}$), parallel and perpendicular viscosities, mainly from neutrals, may exceed magnetic diffusivities (Ohm, Hall, ambipolar) in the mi…
