Abstract
In laser produced plasmas, when temperature gradient is deep, local thermal transport is not dominant. Classical theory of Spitzer-Harm should not be used in this case. Instead, Fokker-Planck simulation method should be utilized. In this paper, research on thermal transport in both local and non-local cases are discussed. Numerical results by using Epperlein scheme are provided and compared.
