Abstract: | Hybrid codes in which part of the plasma is represented as particles and the rest as a fluid are discussed. In the past few
years such codes with particle ions and massless, fluid electrons have been applied to space plasmas, especially to collisionless
shocks. All of these simulation codes are one-dimensional and similar in structure, except for how the field equations are
solved. We describe in detail the various approaches that are used (resistive Ohm's law, predictor-corrector, Hamiltonian)
and compare results from the various codes with examples taken from collisionless shocks and low frequency wave phenomena
upstream of shocks. |
