plasma simulation codes

Plasma simulation codes are computer programs that model the behavior of plasma—an ionized state of matter found in stars, fusion reactors, and space. They use complex physics equations to predict how particles and electromagnetic fields interact over time. These simulations help scientists understand plasma dynamics, optimize fusion experiments, and develop new technologies. By creating virtual experiments, plasma simulation codes provide insights that are difficult, costly, or impossible to observe directly, enabling advancements in energy, space exploration, and advanced materials research.
