Validation & Verification in Physics of Plasmas

Physics of Plasmas is making a collection of 20 papers on verification and validation available for free download for a limited time.

Theoretical models, both analytical and numerical, are playing an increasingly important role in predicting complex plasma behavior, and providing a scientific understanding of the underlying physical processes.

Since the ability of a theoretical model to predict plasma behavior is a key measure of the model’s accuracy and its ability to advance scientific understanding, it is Physics of Plasmas’ Editorial Policy to encourage the submission of manuscripts whose primary focus is the verification and/or validation of codes and analytical models aimed at predicting plasma behavior.
