Shear viscosity for dense plasmas by equilibrium molecular dynamics in asymmetric Yukawa ionic mixtures.

We present molecular dynamics (MD) calculations of shear viscosity for asymmetric mixed plasma for thermodynamic conditions relevant to astrophysical and inertial confinement fusion plasmas. Specifically, we consider mixtures of deuterium and argon at temperatures of 100-500 eV and a number density of 10^{25} ions/cc. The motion of 30,000-120,000 ions is simulated in which the ions interact via the Yukawa (screened Coulomb) potential.

Diffusivity in asymmetric Yukawa ionic mixtures in dense plasmas.

In this paper we present molecular dynamics (MD) calculations of the interdiffusion coefficient for asymmetric mixed plasma for thermodynamic conditions relevant to astrophysical and inertial confinement fusion plasmas. Specifically, we consider mixtures of deuterium and argon at temperatures of 100-500 eV and a number density ∼10(25) ions/cm(3). The motion of 30,000-120,000 ions is simulated in which the ions interact via the Yukawa (screened Coulomb) potential.

Self-diffusivity and interdiffusivity of molten aluminum-copper alloys under pressure, derived from molecular dynamics.

We use molecular dynamics (MD) to simulate diffusion in molten aluminum-copper (AlCu) alloys. The self-diffusivities and Maxwell-Stefan diffusivities are calculated for AlCu mixtures using the Green-Kubo formulas at temperatures from 1000 to 4000 K and pressures from 0 to 25 GPa, along with additional points at higher temperatures and pressures. The diffusivities are corrected for finite-size effects.
