Demonstration of Anisotropic Fluid Closure Capturing the Kinetic Structure of Magnetic Reconnection

Collisionless magnetic reconnection in high-temperature plasmas has been widely studied through fluid-based models. Here, we present results of fluid simulation implementing new equations of state for guide-field reconnection. The new fluid closure accurately accounts for the anisotropic electron pr...
