Computer Simulation of Statistical Plasma Mechanics (An Example of Undergraduate Research)

Theimer, O.; Theimer, M. M.

American Journal of Physics, 46, 6, 661-6, Jun 78

Computes various thermodynamics and statistical quantities of all electrically charged particles in a small plasma to analyze: (1) How many particles are required for computer stimulation of a macroscopic plasma? (2) To find out if this method is accurate and fast enough to become a good tool of statistical plasma mechanics. (GA)
