Fluid simulations of three-dimensional reconnection that capture the lower-hybrid drift instability

Abstract: Fluid models that approximate kinetic effects have received attention recently in the modelling of large-scale plasmas such as planetary magnetospheres. In three-dimensional reconnection, both reconnection itself and current sheet instabilities need to be represented appropriately. We show that a heat flux closure based on pressure gradients enables a 10-moment fluid model to capture key properties of the lower-hybrid drift instability (LHDI) within a reconnection simulation. Characteristics of the instability… Show more

“…For an otherwise fair comparison, we utilize in the full-grid simulations the advantages that an explicitly available grid brings: The positivity preserving limiters are turned on and the velocity splitting is realized via the backsubstitution method [32]. The full grid simulations are performed with the muphy2 multiphysics plasma simulation code [2,33].…”
