It aims to highlight the most significant results that come from theoretical investigation and numerical simulation of the plasma dynamics in the solar system. The theoretical approach allows to evidence the universality of the phenomena investigated, whatever the region is where their role is studied, at the sun, in the solar corona, in the interplanetary space or in planetary magnetospheres.As during the last EGS/EGU assemblies, the session will again be bringing together scientists who investigate similar physical processes in different parts of the heliosphere encouraging fruitful cross-fertilizing exchanges. All possible theoretical studies concerning plasma dynamics are welcome, especially those using numerical models and simulation, since these tools are mandatory whenever analytical treatments fail, in particular when complex nonlinear and nonlocal phenomena are at work. Nevertheless, one different specific theme is put forward each year; for the 2004 session, we especially encourage all the contributions connected with the questions of “cross-scale coupling” and their modelling. This theme includes the most general problem of complexity, but also the different approaches of turbulence (strong/ weak) and all the delicate questions concerning the boundaries between modelling, kinetic effects in fluid theories and vice-versa. Understanding the role of an exact description of the local plasma (micro- or macro-) physics in determining the non-linear states of the large global systems is one of the issues of this debate. As in the past after the meeting the AGU-EGS journal "Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics" will gather appropriate contributions of this session.
