Simulation (plasmapy.simulation)

Attention

This functionality is under development. Backward incompatible changes might occur in future releases.

Introduction

The simulation subpackage provides basic, didactic reference implementations of popular methods of simulating plasmas, and interfaces to common simulation tools.
