Molecular dynamics calculation of thermal conductivity and shear viscosity in two-component fully ionized strongly coupled plasma

Abstract

We present the results of calculations of thermal conductivity and shear-viscosity coefficients of ultracold single charged two-component classical Coulomb plasma by the method of molecular dynamics (MMD). The calculations are carried out in a wide range of Coulomb coupling parameters. The comparison with analytical expressions and calculations of MMD for the model of one-component plasma on a uniform background is presented for conditions where experimental measurements are lacking. The results obtained for our model can be used for any equilibrium or nonequilibrium strongly coupled plasmas, in which quantum effects are negligible.
