The influence of Hall currents, plasma viscosity and electron inertia on magnetic reconnection solutions
… Ohm's law which includes both Hall current and electron inertia contributions. In contrast to the closed X-point collapse geometry adopted for compressible plasmas previously, we find it more convenient to explore this problem using an open incompressible geometry in which plasma is continually …

Inertial tearing modes in magnetically-confined plasmas
… second type of unstable tearing mode related to electron inertia. The results of the analysis of this inertial mode proved consistent with experimental data on the tearing mode from JET, and suggests further analysis in the nonlinear regime to verify this consistency.

Steady and unsteady visco-resistive reconnection in the presence of the Hall effect
… pressure and axial effects, the Hall effect and electron inertia. We perform a dimensional analysis to find order-of magnitude estimates for how the aforementioned effects perturb the Craig and McClymont (1991) solution. We verify these estimates with numerical simulations. In Chapter 7, we give …

Numerical Simulation of Ion-Cyclotron Turbulence Generated by Artificial Plasma Cloud Release
… the turbulence. An electromagnetic hybrid (fluid electrons and particle ions) model incorporating electron inertia is developed to study the generation and nonlinear evolution of this turbulence. Fourier pseudo-spectral methods are combined with finite difference methods to solve the electron …

Computational studies of nonlinear dispersive plasma systems
… MHD reconnection in the presence of resistivity, electron inertia, and hyperresistivity as mechanisms that break field lines. For simulations of modest system size of the type presented in this thesis, all of these mechanisms exhibit rapid impulsive onset with X-point geometry.</p>
