The modelling and the numerical resolution of the electrical charging of a spacecraft in interaction with the Earth magnetosphere is considered. It involves the Vlasov-Poisson system, endowed with non standard boundary conditions. We discuss the pros and cons of several numerical methods for solving this system, using as benchmark a simple 1D model which exhibits the main difficulties of the original models.
Mots clés : Vlasov-Poisson equations, particles methods, finite volume methods, semi-lagrangian methods
