Comparison of transport coefficients for weakly coupled multi-component plasmas obtained with different formalisms

Plasma Physics 2017-05-03 v1

Abstract

LANL Memorandum of potentially broad interest. A direct comparison is performed between transport coefficients for weakly coupled plasmas obtained with different formalisms to demonstrate that these formalisms give identical predictions. This is what one would expect since for weakly coupled plasmas all the formalisms rely on the same physical assumptions and mathematical approximations.
