    Large Ion-neutral Drift Velocities and Plasma Heating in Partially Ionized Coronal Rain Blobs
    In this paper we present a numerical study of the dynamics of partially ionized coronal rain blobs. We use a two-fluid model to perform a high-resolution 2D...

    Wave Conversion, Decay, and Heating in a Partially Ionized Two-fluid Magneto-atmosphere
    A ray-theoretic phase-space description of linear waves in a two-fluid (charges and neutrals) magnetized plasma is used to calculate analytic decay rates and...
