Notes:
For much of their history plasmas have been characterized by complex unpredictable behavior. This stemmed from their general nonlinear turbulent behavior, from the difficulties of carrying out controlled experiments, and from the limitations of theory. Recently this situation has changed quite dramatically with the phenomenal growth in the capabilities of computer modeling. Contact between predictions and experiments have been made over a broad range of problems. In the 21st century the power of modeling will continue to grow; the techniques for using the tool will grow and our ability to understand the complex results will improve. In this endeavor the most critical factor is the human factor. Humans must create the models; they must make sense of the results; they must condense the results to a simplified form that is useful to others. Given the importance of plasmas to human activities and in the universe, these advances point to important developments. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
