Tokamak Disruption Simulation (TDS) SciDAC center
The primary objective of the TDS Center is to help establish the physics basis for effective disruption mitigation in a reactor-size tokamak through large-scale simulations, using the largest computers available. To reach this ambitious goal, the TDS Center aims to simultaneously advance the frontiers of disruption physics and advanced simulation. In particular, the TDS Team develops cutting-edge scalable, adaptive, high-order algorithms for tokamak simulations.
Highlights
- Advanced scalable algorithms design and development for tokamak simulations
- Extended magnetohydrodynamic simulation of flux surface breakup and global field line stochasticization
- Transport (fully kinetic, gyrokinetic, and gyrofluid) calculations of particle and energy in 3D magnetic fields
- Multi-fluid and kinetic calculation of plasma/neutral and plasma/pellet interaction
- Collisional-radiative modeling of a disrupting plasma with high-Z impurities and runaway electrons
- Self-consistent kinetic calculations of runaway generation and transport
