ABSTRACT
Plasma expert Wendell Horton from the Institute for Fusion Studies at the University of Texas at Austin is running simulations on the Stampede2 supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) to investigate plasma turbulence characteristics to validate design parameters at the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, and Latin for "the way") tokamak project in southern France. Visualizations show waves from simulated electromagnetic fields corresponding to those generated in the lining of the magnetic device as the plasma inside creates fusion energy.

Plasma Simulation Data Through the Hololens
PEARC '18: Proceedings of the Practice and Experience on Advanced Research ComputingThe Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) demonstrates scientific visualization with Microsoft's Hololens [1]. In a mixed reality (MR) environment this tool allows the scientist to see their data geometry as a holographic image with the ability to ...
Finite time step and spatial grid effects in δf simulation of warm plasmas
This paper introduces a technique for analyzing time integration methods used with the particle weight equations in f method particle-in-cell (PIC) schemes. The analysis applies to the simulation of warm, uniform, periodic or infinite plasmas in the ...
On the numerical dispersion of electromagnetic particle-in-cell code
The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method is widely used in relativistic particle beam and laser plasma modeling. However, the PIC method exhibits numerical instabilities that can render unphysical simulation results or even destroy the simulation. For ...
