摘要：

Nonlocal electron heat transport calculations are carried out by making use of some of the techniques developed previously for extending the delta f method to transport time scale simulations [S. Brunner, E. Valeo, and J. Krommes, Phys. Plasmas 6, 4504 (1999)]. By considering the relaxation of small amplitude temperature perturbations of an homogeneous Maxwellian background, only the linearized Fokker-Planck equation has to be solved, and direct comparisons can be made with the equivalent, nonlocal hydrodynamic approach [V. Yu. Bychenkov , Phys. Rev. Lett. 75, 4405 (1995)]. A quasineutrality-conserving algorithm is derived for computing the self-consistent electric fields driving the return currents. In the low-collisionality regime, results illustrate the importance of taking account of nonlocality in both space and time. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S1070-664X(00)01707-9].
