Scientific paper

Magnetic reconnection has been widely studied for the last several decades. Various studies show that ion inertia effects plays a very important role at the magnetosphere boundary, in magnetotail reconnection, and in the ionosphere. The Geospace environmental Modelling (GEM) challenge on magnetic reconnection demonstrated that different plasma approximations including Hall MHD generate rather similar reconnection rates in simple two-dimensional systems. To better understand this process, a new 3-D Hall MHD simulation code has been developed. The new method has been rigorously tested for Whistler wave propagation and the original magnetic reconnection challenge. We present results of these tests and of new investigations of three-dimensional magnetic reconnection associated with ion inertial effects.
