 Hall magnetohydrodynamics

Hall magnetohydrodynamics retains bulk ion inertia but freezes magnetic flux into the Electron velocity ${\mathbf{u}}_e=\mathbf{u}-\mathbf{j}/(en)$. With constant density, negligible electrical resistivity and Electron inertia, Gaussian units give $\mathbf{j}=c\nabla \times \mathbf{B}/(4\pi )$ and ${\partial }_t\mathbf{B}=\nabla \times [(\mathbf{u}-c\nabla \times \mathbf{B}/(4\pi en))\times \mathbf{B}]$. The ion velocity still satisfies the magnetohydrodynamic momentum equation. Neglecting that velocity gives electron magnetohydrodynamics, a further approximation rather than a synonym for the complete Hall system.
