Abstract:The multi-fluid plasma model only assumes local thermodynamic equilibrium within each fluid, e.g. ion and electron fluids for the two-fluid plasma model. Derivation of the MHD model involves several asymptotic and simplifying assumptions that can limit its applicability. Therefore, the two-fluid plasma model more accurately represents the appropriate physical processes. Physical parameters indicate the importance of the two-fluid effects: electron to ion mass ratio m e /m i , ion skin depth δ i , and ion Larmo… Show more
“…Here, the magnitude and structure of self-generated magnetic fields due to the RTI is studied using Hall-MHD equations [7] in the WARPX (Washington Approximate Riemann Plasma) code [8]. WARPX captures the non-colinearity of the electron density and temperature gradients by explicitly including both ion and electron dynamics as well as self-consistent electric and magnetic fields.…”

“…The next step toward the two-component plasma-neutral equations is to compose the threefluid electron-ion-neutral model, which is a generalization of the two-fluid plasma model [21,22] to include reacting neutrals. Using the expressions for moments of the reaction collision operators summarized in Section III A, and taking moments of Eqn.…”

“…Then, the Green's formula yields B ¼ P D Tr B, and applying the operator Tr of (18), we arrive at (20). Conversely, let the BEP (20) hold for some n C .…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
