Statistical ray tracing in plasmas with random density fluctuations.

Radiative Recombination Data for Modelling Dynamic Finite-density Plasmas

We have calculated partial final-state resolved radiative recombination (RR) rate coefficients from the initial ground and metastable levels of all elements up to and including Zn, plus Kr, Mo, and Xe, for all isoelectronic sequences up to Na-like forming Mg-like. The data are archived according to the Atomic Data and Analysis Structure (ADAS) data class adf48, which spans a temperature range o...

Density fluctuations in strongly stratified two-dimensional turbulence.

We present a study of density fluctuations in two-dimensional soap-film convection. When the temperature difference (DeltaT) imposed vertically along the film is smaller than a critical value (DeltaT(C) approximately 48 K), the convective motion is in a strongly stratified state and the frequency power spectrum of density fluctuations shows a Bolgiano-like scaling f(-7/5) in the buoyancy subran...

Quasiclassical Theory and Simulations of Strongly Coupled Plasmas

A survey on the dynamical and thermodynamical properties of plasmas with strong Coulomb interactions in the quasi-classical density-temperature region is given. First the basic theoretical concepts describing nonideality are discussed. The chemical picture is introduced. It is shown that the nonideal plasma subsystem of the free charges has a rather large quasi-classical regime, where the quant...

Modified Enskog kinetic theory for strongly coupled plasmas.

Concepts underlying the Enskog kinetic theory of hard-spheres are applied to include short-range correlation effects in a model for transport coefficients of strongly coupled plasmas. The approach is based on an extension of the effective potential transport theory [S. D. Baalrud and J. Daligault, Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 235001 (2013)] to include an exclusion radius surrounding individual charged...
