Abstract

Particle simulation of plasmas (ionized gases) has become a powerful tool for in vestigating the physics of this complex state of matter, such as normal modes of nonuniform plasmas, and nonlinear be havior. Whereas much of this complex behavior is difficult to measure experi mentally, computer modeling can provide detailed information to augment our un derstanding of physical phenomena. We describe the basic methods of particle simulation and present a number of ex amples that highlight applications of this approach to plasma physics.
