Abstract

Department of Applied Mathematics, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Valencia E-46022, Spain~Received 12 May 1997; revised manuscript received 16 October 1997!A self-consistent field theory is proposed of transport properties of strongly coupled, fully ionized, multi-component plasmas. The results are compared with those of simulation and experimental studies @formolecular-dynamics one-component plasmas see J. P. Hansenet al., Phys. Rev. A 23, 2041 ~1981!; forcapillary discharges see J. F. Benage, Jr. et al., Phys. Rev. E 49, 4391 ~1994!; for vaporization of copper wiresin water see A. W. DeSilva ~private communication!#. Like in previously considered cases @V. M. Adamyanet al., J. Phys. D 27, 927 ~1994!, and references therein#, the agreement is good or reasonable; the approachpossesses no adjustable parameters. @S1063-651X~98!06302-8#PACS number~s!: 52.25.FiI. INTRODUCTION
