| Abstract: |
We present the first study of turbulent decay in systems in which the Hall effect is important. We use a new, stable, explicit algorithm to integrate the multifluid MHD equations in the presence of the Hall effect. We find that in Hall-dominated systems effect introduces more structure in density on all length scales, and marginally reduces the turbulent energy decay rate, than in equivalent systems which are ambipolar dominated. |
