-One of the main research topics of the [[http://www.cwi.nl/research-groups/Multiscale-Dynamics|Multiscale Dynamics]] group at [[http://www.cwi.nl/|CWI]] is the modeling of various discharges. On this Wiki you can find (among other things):
+Lightning phenomena, plasma processing, plasma medicine and high voltage
+technology are governed by similar physical mechanisms. These mechanisms evolve
+on multiple scales in space and time, frequently ordered in a hierarchical
+structure.

+mechanical engineering, atmospheric electricity and cosmic particle physics.
+Experimental investigations, theory and numerical simulations complement each

-Now why do we make our simulation codes available online? For the following reasons:
-  * So that others can use or copy (part of) it, or can extract ideas from it.
-  * So that (published) results can be reproduced and checked.
-  * To get feedback and suggestions from others, as to improve our work.
