Local and Non-local Thermal Transport Simulation
Kaifeng Chen
In laser produced plasmas, when temperature gradient is deep, local thermal transport is not dominant. Classical theory of Spitzer-Harm should not be used in this case. Instead, Fo…

A New Method of Analyzing Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions of Linearized Rosenbluth Collision Operator
Kaifeng Chen
Eigenvalue spectrum has been a long term unsolved problem for plasma physicists. In this paper, some numerical calculations are conducted about the minimum eigenvalues of the linea…

Super Guassian Distribution of Laser Produced Plasmas
Kaifeng Chen
The competition between inverse Bremsstrahlung, which pushes the distribution towards a super-Guassian, and the thermalization through self-collisions is considered. In the summary…
