Using molecular dynamics (MD) with classical interaction potentials we present methods to calculate thermal conductivity and heat transport in crystalline structures and glasses. Inducing shock waves and heat pulses into the systems we study the spreading of energy and temperature over the configurations. Decay of phonons is investigated by excitations of single modes in the structures and by monitoring the time evolution of the amplitude using MD with a microcanonical ensemble. As examples, crystalline and amorphous modifications of selenium, and silica glasses are considered.
