Plasma Physics Via Computer Simulation

Divided into three main parts, Plasma Physics via Computer Simulation guides the reader to an understanding of the basic concepts in this fascinating field of research. Part 1 introduces you to the fundamental concepts of simulation. It examines one-dimensional electrostatic codes and electromagnetic codes, and describes the numerical methods and analysis. Part 2 explores the mathematics and physics behind the algorithms used in Part 1. In Part 3, it addresses some of the more complicated simulations in two and three dimensions. Using software avilable from the author's website, readers are encouraged to perform practical work.
