Codes can either be interpretative (taking some input from experiment) or predictive. | Codes can either be interpretative (taking some input from experiment) or predictive. | ||
They can be full-[[Tokamak|tokamak]] (or full-[[Stellarator|stellarator]]), or simulate only a small portion of plasma (a flux tube, the edge, or the [[Scrape-Off Layer]]). They can be fluid models for one (electrons), two (electrons + ions) or more (impurities) fluid species, Monte Carlo type (particle tracing) codes, or gyro-kinetic codes. The latter are again subdivided into full-f or delta-f codes (delta-f referring to the fact that only the deviation from a background Maxwellian particle velocity distribution function is simulated). | They can be full-[[Tokamak|tokamak]] (or full-[[Stellarator|stellarator]]), or simulate only a small portion of plasma (a [[Flux tube|flux tube]], the edge, or the [[Scrape-Off Layer]]).
