Introduction to Simulation Methods for Gas Discharge Plasmas - Accuracy, reliability and limitations

This book is an introduction to the numerical modelling methods for gas discharge plasmas for graduate students and junior researchers. Topics covered include the essentials of basic modelling approaches (particle, fluid, and hybrid) for gas discharges, and the implementation of these methods with examples of glow (DC and RF) discharges.
