Abstract
A simple method of solving the electron-transport equation in the presence of a steadily ablating plasma is described. The results show that, compared with a motionless plasma, the presence of steady-state ablation can substantially reduce the electric field in the direction of the heat flow. It does not lead to further reduction of the (center-of-mass) heat flow.Keywords
