This is a review of studies on hybrid simulation of low-frequency processes in space plasmas. We discuss the main approximations used in the derivation fo the hybrid model: particle representation for ions; massless fluid representation for electrons. The main numerical schemes for the implementation of this model are considered: the generalized Ohm law scheme, the predictor-corrector scheme, the scheme using Boris and Runge-Kutta methods to compute the fields. The article reviews the literature on imulation of collisionless shocks: quasiperpendicular shocks with anisotropic (mirror and ioncyclotron) instabilities; quasiparallel shocks with inclusion of re-formation processes (“periodic” destruction and repeated formation of the shock front), as well as collision of two shocks. Numerical aspects of simulation are discussed in some cases. Initialization of shocks and collisionless discontinuities is examined.
