“…to
develop and deploy predictive
computational models for
|
|
|
the
study of low frequency, long wavelength fluid-like
|
|
|
dynamics
in the diverse geometries of modern magnetic
|
|
|
fusion
devices.”
|
|
|
• |
High
programmatic motivation:
|
|
|
|
– |
disruptions, sawteeth, current, and beta limits
|
|
|
• |
Need
for improved plasma models:
|
|
|
|
– |
FLR, anisotropy, long MFP
|
|
|
• |
Need
for improved computational techniques:
|
|
|
|
– |
Extreme separation of time and space scales, and
extreme anisotropy
|
|
|
|
– |
Efficiency, visualization, data base management,
code support
|
