摘要：

Particle simulation of plasmas, employed since the 1960s, provides a self-consistent, fully kinetic representation of general plasmas. Early incarnations looked for fundamental plasma effects in one-dimensional systems with similar to 10(2)-10(3) particles in periodic electrostatic systems on computers with <= 100kB memory. Recent advances model boundary conditions, such as external circuits to wave launchers, collisions and effects of particle-surface impact, all in fully relativistic three-dimensional electromagnetic systems using similar to 10(6)-10(10) particles on massively parallel computers. While particle codes still enjoy prominance in a number of basic physics areas, they are now often used for engineering devices as well.
