UT02.00001: Modern Computational Methods for Fluid and Kinetic Simulations of Plasmas at (Almost) All Scales Invited Speaker: Ammar Hakim Computational plasma physics is a uniquely challenging field due to the extreme scales and disparate physical phenomena involved in the plasma universe. From electron cyclotron motion to resistive time-scales, from the plasma environment around black-holes to fusion machines, plasmas are ubiquitous in the visible universe. In this tutorial, I will present recently developed numerical methods to simulate plasmas at (almost) all scales. These modern methods are carefully constructed to ensure preservation of underlying physical principles (like energy and positivity) that arise from the considerations of the physics of the equations. Based on higher-order finite-element or finite-volume schemes, these methods allow simulating a wide variety of problems, from laboratory to space plasmas. |
