講題：Particle-in-cell Simulations in Collisionless Space Plasmas

摘要：

Particle simulations are a key tool for understanding the kinetic behavior of space plasmas.

These simulations help study physical processes like wave generation, heating, particle acceleration, and shock propagation.

This presentation will explore how simulations are tailored to address various challenges,

including open boundaries for waves and particles, curvilinear coordinates for the dipole field,

and parallel computing techniques. We'll also look at examples from space plasma physics,

including kilometric radiation in the auroral region, whistler-mode waves in the magnetosphere,

and shocks in the solar wind and magnetosphere.

Important methods for analyzing these processes will also be discussed.
