Three, very different particle methods, PIC, SPH and vortex‐blob methods, are compared. Results on consistency and stability are collected. A PIC instability, its properties, and its resolution by stability in the energy norm is discussed at some length. Examples are given of the mutual exchange between computational fluid dynamics and plasma modelling. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
