Abstract

The effects of dynamic shielding of charged-particle interactions on the predicted values of hte transport properties of partially ionized argon are considered. It is found that, at low degreesof ionization, dynamic shielding effects are of little importance, because charged-particle encounters are infrequent, so that the perturbed Lorentzian method may be used to obtain a rapidly convergent solution. At higher degrees of ionization, where the Chapman–Enskog solution converges rapidly, dynamic shielding effects can be taken into account using the expressions presented in the appendix to this paper. It is also found that the static shielding model, assuming complete shielding by electrons only, yields results that are quite close to those obtained when dynamic shielding is considered.
