We discuss the (2 þ 1)-dimensional parity-violating charged fluid on a finite cutoff surface Σ c , dual to the nondynamical and dynamical Chern-Simons (CS) modified gravities. Using the nonrelativistic longwavelength expansion method, the field equations are solved up to Oðϵ 2 Þ in the nondynamical model. It is shown that there exists nonvortical dual fluid with shear viscosity η and Hall viscosity η A on the cutoff surface Σ c . The ratio of shear viscosity over entropy density η=s of the fluid takes the universal value 1=4π, while the ratio of Hall viscosity over entropy density η A =s depends on the Σ c and black brane charge q. Moreover, the nonvortical dual fluid obeys the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equation. However, these kinematic viscosities ν and ν A related to η and η A do not appear in this MHD equation due to the constraint condition∂ 2 β j ¼ 0 for the (2 þ 1)-dimensional dual fluid. Then, we extend our discussion to the dynamical CS modified gravity and show that the dual vortical fluid possesses another so-called Curl viscosity ζ A , whose ratio to entropy density ζ A =s also depends on the Σ c and q. Moreover, the value of η=s still equals 1=4π and the result of η A =s agrees with the previous result under the probe limit of the pseudoscalar field at the infinite boundary in the charged black brane background for the dynamical CS modified gravity. This vortical dual fluid corresponds to the MHD turbulence equation in plasma physics.Since the pseudoscalar field is spacetime coordinate dependent, which leads to ∂ ν θ ≠ 0, then Eq.
