The next generation of numerical plasma models need to have the capacity to address multi-scale problems for which fluid-only codes miss physics and pure kinetic codes are too computationally heavy. The code PHARE, currently being developed, aims at enabling the evolution of complex plasma systems over a dynamic hierarchy of grids with different mesh resolutions and potentially different plasma formalisms as well. This Adaptive Mesh and Model Refinement (AM2R) will provide better resolution and better realism to the solution where and when assessed necessary. This work will present the ongoing progress on the project, regarding the AMR Hybrid-PIC and AMR Hall-MHD solvers.
