Abstract
A comparison study of various models in investigating the Coulomb logarithm (CL) for a wide range of densities and temperatures is carried out. Using two known reference parameters, the ion coupling \( \varGamma \) and the electron degeneracy \( \varTheta \), the capability of a recently proposed coupled Gericke–Murillo–Schlanges (CGMS) model in evaluating the CL is compared with other previous models—the Gericke–Murillo–Schlanges (GMS) model, the Landau–Spitzer (LS), the Brown–Preston–Singleton (BPS), the classical molecular dynamics (MD), and Khrapak (KH) model. It is observed that the CGMS model shows reliable results in both weakly and strongly coupled regimes. Moreover, the effects of using these models on studying electron heat transfer and conductivity coefficient within the weakly coupled and strongly coupled plasmas are examined.
