Bulk viscosity of the rigid rotor one-component plasma
Jarett LeVan, Marco Acciarri, Scott Baalrud
Bulk viscosity of a plasma consisting of strongly coupled diatomic ions is computed using molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations are based on the rigid rotor one-component…

When should PIC simulations be applied to atmospheric pressure plasmas? Impact of correlation heating
M. Acciarri, C. Moore, L. P. Beving +1
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to test when the particle-in-cell (PIC) method applies to atmospheric pressure plasmas. It is found that PIC applies only when the plasma de…

Disorder-induced heating in molecular atmospheric pressure plasmas
Jarett LeVan, Marco Acciarri, Scott Baalrud
Recent work has shown that ions are strongly coupled in atmospheric pressure plasmas when the ionization fraction is sufficiently large, leading to a temperature increase from diso…
