Parallel simulations of hall-Mhd plasmas

Plasma processes such as magnetic reconnection, turbulent regimes or dynamo-generated magnetic fields, are well studied within the framework of one-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). However, there are processes such as the Hall current, which are not covered by the MHD description. The Hall effect i...
