Numerical thermalization in -D particle-in-cell simulations
R. M. Park, C. H. Moore, S. D. Baalrud
The particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation method is often understood to solve the collisionless Vlasov equation due to the finite shape of its macroparticles. In reality, it can suffer…
Kinetic Theory for Electronic Transport Properties of Warm Dense Matter: Chapman-Enskog Solution of the Uehling-Uhlenbeck Equation
Lucas J. Babati, Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Louis Jose +1
A kinetic theory is developed to describe the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and electrothermal coefficients in warm dense plasmas. It models electron degeneracy us…
Plasma Conductivity from Warm Dense Matter to the Spitzer Limit Using Mean-Force Kinetic Theory
Lucas J. Babati, Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Louis Jose +1
A theoretical model is developed to compute electronic transport coefficients extending from warm and dense to hot and dilute plasma conditions. This kinetic theory-based approach…
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Hydrodynamic Transport Coefficients in Plasmas
Briggs Damman, Jarett LeVan, Scott Baalrud
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to calculate transport coefficients in a two-component plasma interacting through a repulsive Coulomb potential. The thermal conductivi…
Plasma hydrodynamics from mean force kinetic theory
Jarett LeVan, Scott D. Baalrud
Mean force kinetic theory is used to evaluate the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, electrothermal coefficient, thermoelectric coefficient, and shear viscosity of a tw…
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Temperature Relaxation in Non-Neutral Plasmas Relevant to Antimatter Experiments
James C. Welch, Louis Jose, Timothy D. Tharp +1
An important process for antimatter experiments is the cooling of particles in a Penning-Malmberg trap to experimentally useful temperatures. A non-neutral plasma of one species (e…
Collisional stopping power of ions in warm dense matter
Lucas Babati, Shane Rightley, Nathaniel Shaffer +1
A model for the collisional stopping of ions on free electrons in warm dense matter is developed and explored. It is based on plasma kinetic theory, but with modifications to addre…
Foundations of magnetohydrodynamics
Jarett LeVan, Scott Baalrud
In this tutorial, a derivation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) valid beyond the usual ideal gas approximation is presented. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is used to obtain conservat…
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…
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…
Reply to Comment on "Kinetic Theory of the Presheath and the Bohm Criterion"
S D Baalrud, C C Hegna
In his comment, Riemann defends the conventional kinetic Bohm criterion on the basis that the underlying approximations become rigorous in the limit λ_D/l \rightarrow 0, where λ_D…
