Computer simulations of nuclear dynamics

Because the field of computer simulations is advancing so rapidly, several of today's burning issues will be resolved and replaced by new ones between the writing of this review and its publication. While reference is made to current controversial questions, they do not form the bulk of the material in this review. Rather, the authors examine several different approaches to numerical simulations and highlight the similarities and differences between them. Results from several techniques are illustrated and contrasted. In choosing examples for the application of the techniques, emphasis is placed on examining general issues in reaction dynamics and the properties of nuclear matter, rather than dealing with specific experimental comparisons
