Description

The Braginskii methods in classical_transport currently in transport (this will move with #303) have minimal docstrings. It would be quite helpful to add:

  • information on units
  • some physical discussion
  • where do all these equations come from (references)

Research direction

Start with the Braginskii methods in plasmapy/transport.py under classical_transport, while checking issue #303 for the planned move. Review each method's existing docstring and identify the units, physical explanation, and source references that are missing. Done means the methods document all three areas clearly in their new or current location.
