Comparisons are presented between a hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell (HVM) simulation of turbulence in a collisionless plasma and fluid reductions. These include Hall-magnetohydrodynamics (HMHD) and Landau fluid (LF) or finite Larmor radius-Landau fluid (FLR-LF) models that retain pressure anisotropy and low-f...
