Abstract
We simulate magnetic reconnection in the GEM problem using a two-fluid model with 10 moments for the electron fluid as well as the proton fluid. We show that use of 10 moments for electrons gives good qualitative agreement with the the electron pressure tensor components in published kinetic simulations.
