Abstract

We show that the thermal transport in laser produced plasmas can be inhibited due to the outward plasma blow-off which is in the opposite direction to the inward heat transport. A simple model is proposed in which the steady state heat transfer equation, including the convective term for a point heat source, is solved. A simple analytical expression for the ratio of effective to classical conductivity depending on the blow-off velocity is obtained. With this model, present experimental data on thermal transport can be qualitatively, but consistently described.
