Computer Simulation of Plasmas

 

The computer Simulations of plasmas uses many models and techniques such as the global MHD, two fluid, electron magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD), and particle in cell (PIC). The global MHD model is now among the most widely used computational tool for the solar wind magnetosphere interaction. The EMHD model studies the fastest and shortest processes in a variety of plasmas, such as magnetic reconnection. The PIC codes are used to study the plasma conditions in which the kinetic processes are important, e.g. wave particle interactions.
