计算机模拟已成为探索等离子体物理的有力工具。早期的计算机只能处理相对简单的模型，但尽管如此，这些设备仍然可以为等离子体的复杂物理学提供很多帮助。这种能力已被证明不仅有价值的研究，而且正在成为一个重要的教学工具;建模使学生能够以具体的方式体验等离子体现象，否则只提出抽象。当今等离子体模型与并行计算相结合，提供了足够的能力，使复杂设备上的实验室实验的数值模拟成为可能。详细讨论了模拟的两个示例：“拍波加速器”和“数值Tokamak”。
Computer modeling has become a powerful tool for exploring the physics of plasmas. Early computers could handle only relatively simple models but nevertheless showed that these devices could shed a lot of light on the complex physics of plasmas. This capability has proved not only valuable to research but also is becoming an important teaching tool; modeling allows students to experience in concrete ways plasma phenomena which are otherwise presented only abstractly. Present‐day plasma models combined with parallel computing provide sufficient power that numerical modeling of laboratory experiments on complex devices has become possible. Two examples of simulations are discussed in some detail: The ‘‘Beat Wave Accelerator’’ and the ‘‘Numerical Tokamak.’’
