Comments

The thermal conductivity flux is:(1)
$F_{e} = - K_{e} \nabla T_{e}$

Where,

K_e

(2)
$K_{e} = 0.4 δ_{T} K_{L}$

$K_{L} = K_{L O R} \cdot \frac{T_{e}^{5 / 2}}{Z \ln (Λ)}$

and(4)
$δ_{T} = \frac{1}{1 + (3.44 \times 0.26 \frac{ln (Z)}{Z})}$

K_LOR (Lorentz conductivity) is:(5)
$K_{L O R} = 1.6833 \times 10^{- 9} [\frac{J}{m \cdot s \cdot K^{7 / 2}}]$

LAMBDA depends of the electronic temperature (T_e), the electronic density (n_e) and the coefficient $λ$ :(6)
$Λ = λ \cdot \frac{T_{e}^{3 / 2}}{n_{e}^{1 / 2}}$

A

Atomic weight

N_A

Avogadro number N_A = 6.0225 x 10²³

Z

Atomic number obtained from the SESAME EOS table 504

$ρ$

Density

T_e

Electronic temperature obtained from the SESAME table
The thermal radiation flux is:(8)
$F_{r} = - K_{r} \nabla T_{r}$

With:(9)
$K_{r} = \frac{\frac{16}{3} \cdot σ \cdot L_{R} \cdot T^{3} \cdot \frac{\partial T}{\partial x}}{1 + \frac{16}{3} \cdot \frac{L_{R}}{T} \cdot | \frac{\partial T}{\partial x} |}$

L_R

Rosseland mean length obtained from the SESAME tables.

$T_{r}$ (equivalent to T)

Radiation temperature is obtained from the SESAME tables
Files SESAM301, SESAM505, and SESAM502 are tabulated equations from analytical model selected to describe material state in different states. Most of SESAME tables are double entry tables (two variable functions). These tabulated EOS provide pressure and energy in function of density and temperature. Tables are interpolated in both directions. With Radioss the two variables are density and specific energy.
/EOS/SESAM is able to handle SESAME tabulated EOS. This present material law also take into account Johnson-Cook yield criteria and conductive/radiative transports in potential plasma.
