Abstract
Space-environment simulations, particularly those involving space plasma, present significant computational challenges. Global computational models based on magnetohydrodynamics equations are essential to understanding the solar system's plasma phenomena, including the large-scale solar corona, the solar wind's interaction with planetary magnetospheres, comets, and interstellar medium, and the initiation, structure, and evolution of solar eruptive events.Keywords
