| Abstract: |
We present results of a suite of simulations of turbulent decay in
molecular clouds. These simulations include magnetic fields and, in a
simplified manner, non-ideal effects such as ambipolar diffusion and the Hall
effect. It has been speculated that the Hall effect may have some importance
in molecular clouds in spite of its rather low level in comparison with
ambipolar diffusion. We use our simulation results to compare turbulent decay
with and without non-ideal effects and we also explore the effect of the
individual non-ideal effects incorporated. |
