An alternate to the representation of the plasma as macroparticles, is the cold relativistic fluid model.

The cold relativistic fluid model is typically faster to compute than

WarpX simulates the **self-consistent** evolution of **particle species** (e.g., electrons, ions, etc.) in the presence of **electric and magnetic fields**.

In this context, *self-consistent* indicates that the particle dynamics are influenced by the fields, while the fields themselves evolve in response to the particles' changing charge and current density.

The fields are represented on a **discrete spatial grid** (see :ref:`theory-grid`).

The species are most commonly represented by **discrete macroparticles** moving continuously through the grid, but can also be represented as **fluids** discretized on a grid (see :ref:`theory-species_representations`).
