Abstract
Progress in the theory of effective interaction potentials allows us to calculate the Coulomb logarithm, relaxation and transport properties of weakly coupled as well as nonideal plasmas taking into account both collective screening and quantum diffraction effects. As a result, the fast calculation of the mentioned properties of the classical and semiclassical plasmas is possible without time-consuming simulation methods such as molecular dynamics simulation. For this purpose, user-friendly software with a wide range of functions for simulation of dynamic properties of dense plasmas using the theory of effective potentials is needed. The range of applicability of the effective interaction potentials theory is discussed and part of the software for the simulation of the Coulomb logarithm, relaxation and transport properties of dense plasmas are presented.
