Abstract
The cross-field transport coefficients in collision dominant relativistic plasmas have been derived from a relativistically modified kinetic equation by Legendre expansion analysis. The collision integrals, which include the cross section of relativistic Rutherford scattering, are integrated by using the relativistic Maxwell distribution for electrons. The thermal and electrical conductivities, the Peltier, Nernst, Hall, and Leduc-Righi coefficients are obtained for relativistic plasmas. Resistive magnetic field equations consistently coupled with magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) and kinetic equations are derived. The set of equations can be included in the simulation code which describes magneto-hydrodynamics of plasmas with relativistic energy electrons. The energy relaxation of relativistic electrons and ions in dense plasmas and the properties of nonlinear heat wave propagation in the ultra-relativistic temperature are also investigated. It is found that the ion heating rate is significantly enhanced by the...
