O.L. Caballero. Transport Properties of Dense Plasmas. We are calculating transport properties of the ions in the Neutron star crust using MD simulations. In our model the ions interact via a Yukawa potential. We obtained the thermal conductivity, diffusion coefficient and shear viscosity for a density range between 10^9 to 10^13 gm/cm^3. We expect to match results coming from quantum calculations by Prakash and Postnikov for the dilute gas. In the future we expect to generate results for the nuclear pasta phase.
