Abstract
The plasma contains photons, electrons, ions, and free radicals. Plasmas play a vital role in distinct industrial and medical applications from treating the human skin to nuclear fusion. The heating and the ignition of the plasma are a function of the heating source nature and its space and temporal characteristics and the target composition and phase. The dynamics of the plasma depends on the plasma temperature and density. In this presentation we will give a general overview over different models, such as: Particle-in-cell, Monte-Carlo, Fluid models, and lumped model circuits. Examples for hot plasmas will be shown as the interaction of intense lasers with He and Al targets. For low temperature plasma, examples for capacitively-coupled plasmas and astrophysics will be discussed. The presentation focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of each simulation approach and its validity.
