Summary
The difficulties of the numerical simulation of plasmas are examined, emphasis being laid on basic physical rather than numerical issues.
Riassunto
Nel presente articolo si esaminano alcune particolarità delle simulazioni numeriche in fisica del plasma, ponendo in rilievo che alle radici del problema stanno difficoltà di natura fisica fondamentale, prima ancora che numerica.
Резюме
Исследуются труност и численного моделирования плазм ы, причем, главное внимание уде ляется основным физи ческим, а не численным резулстат ам.
