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…

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…
