It’s nice to know that we’re working on simulating plasmas better, but how can you validate that the simulation was programmed correctly? As a software developer myself, I know that every piece of code has at least a few bugs. Is there some kind of well known test-case to compare against?

The code for the next iteration will be open source so there will be some scope for interested people to try and spot mistakes for themselves.
