Space Plasma Simulations Proceedings of the Second International School for Space Simulations, Kapaa, Hawaii, February 4–15, 1985

The emergence over the past several years of space plasma simula­ tions as a distinct field of endeavor, rather than simply the somewhat startling offspring of plasma physics, computer simulations and space observations, has necessitated a concentrated effort at interdigitat­ ing its parent and comp...
