چکیده
Thanks to the observational and simulation works, the importance of the nonideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects, i.e., Hall effect, ohmic resistivity, and ambipolar diffusion, have been well established at various stages of cloud evolution. To get a comparison between the Hall effect with other effects, we aim to model the time evolution of a rotating filamentary molecular cloud during the isothermal/polytropic collapse phase in the presence of the Hall drift. Three components of the velocity vector are investigated when the angular momentum is fully coupled with the magnetic field at large radii of a filament. For this purpose, the nonideal MHD equations in the self-similar formalism are considered at large radii of a molecular cloud where the magnetic field evolution is affected by the Hall drift. Then, the connection between the self-similar approach with the observational data from the filamentary clouds is examined to get a realistic model. Due to the existence of Hall drift, the significant changes on the rotation of the cloud can be seen when the cloud switches from the isothermal collapse phase to the polytropic collapse phase. Also, the results of this model are useful in the study of the multiple star formation process as well as the initial conditions for driving the outflows during the collapse of the filamentary clouds. Finally, we found that there are some conditions for the comparability of the Hall effect with the ambipolar diffusion in the outer regions of the clouds.
