Abstract

There are many methods of transforming the differential equations to discrete forms suitable for numerical computations. In this chapter we show how particle methods relate to other approaches (finite difference, finite element and spectral methods) and survey particle methods. Sections 2, 3 and 4 focus respectively on particle-mesh (PM) methods for collisionless systems, particle-particle/particle-mesh (P3m) methods for correlated systems and fluid particle methods for fluids and magnetofluids.
