A Fokker‐Planck particle code is used to simulate the energy transport in a magnetized plasma at conditions where the mean free‐path length of heat‐flux‐carrying electrons is comparable with or larger than the electron temperature gradient length. Heat fluxes are calculated for the case of a plasma between two reflecting plates at different temperatures and for the case of one reflecting and one absorbing plate.
