Abstract: Due to the complexity of the processes and the availability of computers early in the history of plasma physics research, numerical simulation has been and remains an important tool for understanding the behaviour of plasmas. Moreover, in particular kinetic plasma models, being posed in phase space, are particularly demanding in computer resources so that plasma simulation has always been at the edge in terms of computer power and plasma physics still provides some of the grand challenge simulations done on the worlds leading supercomputers. This has also favoured the development of fast numerical algorithms some of which have been very successful for other applications. In this talk we shall give and overview of the simulation methods for kinetic models of plasma physics with a historical perspective and discuss some of the difficulties in simulating complex devices like tokamaks and stellarators.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
