Abstract

We present equilibrium molecular-dynamics computations of the thermal conductivity and the two viscosities of the Yukawa one-component plasma. The simulations were performed within periodic boundary conditions, and Ewald sums were implemented for the potentials, the forces, and for all the currents which enter the Kubo formulas. For large values of the screening parameter, our estimates of the shear viscosity and the thermal conductivity are in good agreement with the predictions of the Chapman-Enskog theory.
