There have been many attempts to include kinetic effects into the MHD equations to describe macroscopic instabilities. We are developing a numerical code to solve Maxwell's equations using kinetic dielectric tensor to include the kinetic effects systematically. In this presentation, however, we present the results using a dielectric tensor derived from multi-fluid equations, taking the effect of electron inertia, pressure gradient, and parallel current into account.
