Density contours in 2D extended MHD simulations of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Contour plots of the mass density ρ in simulations of single-fluid MHD model and extended MHD model are shown in Fig. (a) and (b), respectively. In (a), the two contour lines red and blue are relatively separated and the density contours change smoothly between them. In (b), the distance between the two contour lines is much narrower than that in (a) meaning that there is a sharp density gradient in (b).
