Description
Summary:Summary form only given. An analytic solution of the perturbed relativistic Vlasov equation with the use of the projection operators (Bendib and Bendib, 1999) is presented. The explicit expression of the quasistatic distribution function has been derived. The collisionless thermal transport coefficient, namely the thermal conductivity and the temperature anisotropy are deduced in whole temperature regime. It is shown that for ultrarelativistic plasmas, the thermal transport is less efficient than for the nonrelativistic one. Whereas, the relativistic effects increase the temperature anisotropy.
