Braginskii-MHD simulations of sloshing cluster cores show that pressure-anisotropy limiters plus turbulent magnetic structure reduce effective viscosity far below the Spitzer value, steepening velocity spectra and dissipating a small fraction of turbulent kinetic energy.

Reduced Effective Viscosity from Anisotropic Transport and Plasma Instabilities in the Sloshing Cores of Galaxy Clusters
Braginskii-MHD simulations of sloshing cluster cores show that pressure-anisotropy limiters plus turbulent magnetic structure reduce effective viscosity far below the Spitzer value, steepening velocity spectra and dissipating a small fraction of turbulent kinetic energy.
