“…For the Sun, it has been demonstrated that the ambipolar diffusion is orders of magnitude larger than Ohmic diffusion in the chromospheric layers, therefore greatly contributing to chromospheric heating via Joule dissipation (Khomenko & Collados Vera 2012;Priest 2014). In the two-fluid treatment, the energy equation for the charged fluid also has a Joule heating term, similar to the single-fluid case, and the expression for the electric field comes from the generalised Ohm's law (see, e.g., Khomenko et al 2014;Ballester et al 2017). It is interesting to note, however, that ambipolar diffusion term is not explicitly present in the two-fluid Ohm's law, and in the energy conservation equation in the two-fluid treatment, and the corresponding effect is expressed via explicit ion-neutral collisional terms.…”
