Learning Heat Transport Kernels Using a Nonlocal Heat Transport Theory-Informed Neural Network

Mufei Luo, Charles Heaton, Yizhen Wang +5

We present a data-driven framework for the modeling of nonlocal heat transport in plasmas using a nonlocal theory informed neural network trained on kinetic Particle-in-Cell simula…

A statistical theory of electronic degrees of freedom in wave packet molecular dynamics

Daniel Plummer, Pontus Svensson, Wiktor Jasniak +3

We derive statistical distributions for the degrees of freedom in wave packet molecular dynamics models. Specifically, a theory is developed for the width distributions of Gaussian…

Time-Embedded Convolutional Neural Networks for Modeling Plasma Heat Transport

Mufei Luo, Charles Heaton, Yizhen Wang +5

We introduce a time-embedded convolutional neural network (TCNN) for modeling spatiotemporal heat transport in plasmas, particularly under strongly nonlocal conditions. In our earl…

A molecular dynamics framework coupled with smoothed particle hydrodynamics for quantum plasma simulations

Thomas Campbell, Pontus Svensson, Brett Larder +3

We present a novel scheme for modelling quantum plasmas in the warm dense matter (WDM) regime via a hybrid smoothed particle hydrodynamic - molecular dynamic treatment, here referr…

Modelling of warm dense hydrogen via explicit real time electron dynamics: Electron transport properties

Pontus Svensson, Patrick Hollebon, Daniel Plummer +2

We extract electron transport properties from atomistic simulations of a two-component plasma, by mapping the long-wavelength behaviour to a two-fluid model. The mapping procedure…

Ionisation Calculations using Classical Molecular Dynamics

Daniel Plummer, Pontus Svensson, Dirk O. Gericke +3

By performing an ensemble of molecular dynamics simulations, the model-dependent ionisation state is computed for strongly interacting systems self-consistently. This is accomplish…
