Abstract:
The thermal conductivity of strongly coupled Yukawa liquids, being relevant to dusty plasmas, is calculated from nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The calculations cover a wide range of plasma coupling (Gamma) and screening (kappa) parameters and yield data which are generally in good agreement with the results of recent independent calculations. An improved analytical formula, relating the thermal conductivity to the reduced temperature and to the screening length, is proposed.
