Transport in partially degenerate, magnetized plasmas. Part 2. Numerical calculation of transport coefficients

The modified Fokker-Planck collision operator for partially degenerate electrons was derived in an earlier paper [J. Plasma Phys. 58, 577 (1997)]. This is now employed to study linear electron transport for a partially degenerate, magnetized plasma, Because polynomial expansions can yield incorrect transport coefficients owing to lack of resolution of the small fraction of low-energy unmagnetized electrons, a numerical discrete-ordinate scheme is employed The inclusion of electron-electron collisions advances the model beyond that of Lee and More, and in the classical Limit agrees with the results of Epperlein and Haines.
