Numerical calculation of the transport coefficients in thermal plasmas

Abstract

-We have performed a new efficient method to calculate numerically the transport coefficients at high temperature. The collision theory was treated to study singularities that occur when evaluating the collision cross section. The transport coefficients (viscosity, diffusion coefficient, thermal and electrical conductivity) depend strongly on nature of the interaction between the particles that form the plasma and that is why it is necessary to determine the interaction potential accurately.Comment: The 9th International Student Conference on Advanced Science and Technology., Dec 2014, Clermont-Ferrand, Franc
