Multifluid Simulation of Solar Chromospheric Turbulence and Heating Due to Thermal Farley–Buneman Instability

Models fail to reproduce observations of the coldest parts of the Sun’s atmosphere, where interactions between multiple ionized and neutral species prevent an accurate MHD representation. This paper argues that a meter-scale electrostatic plasma instability develops in these regions and causes heati...
