Title: Low-rank optimization of strongly magnetized fusion plasmas
Project leader: Lukas Einkemmer (Funding body: FWF)
Designing fusion reactors (i.e. ITER) relies on a multitude of computer simulation in order to understand everything from equilibrium physics to plasma stability. In this project we are developing mathematical and numerical methods to enable the next generation of fusion codes.
Title: Mathematics and Algorithms for Gyrokinetic and Kinetic Models
Project leader: Lukas Einkemmer (Funding body: EU - Eurofusion - Horizon 2020)
Designing fusion reactors (i.e. ITER) relies on a multitude of computer simulation in order to understand everything from equilibrium physics to plasma stability. In this project we are developing mathematical and numerical methods to enable the next generation of fusion codes.
Title: Exponential Integrators for Problems in magnetohydrodynamics
Project leader: Lukas Einkemmer (Funding body: FWF)
Solving the magnetohydrodynamics equations (a combination of the Navier-Stokes and Maxwell's equations) is challenging but extremely important for many plasma physics applications. In this project we study exponential integrators to efficiently solve such problems. This includes implementing them on modern computer hardware such as GPUs.
Title: Dynamics of Complex Continua - DOCC
Principal investigators: Lukas Einkemmer, Alexander Ostermann et.al. (Funding body: EU - Horizon 2020)
DOCC is an interdisciplinary doctoral program for international early-stage researchers on modelling and simulation in physics, chemistry, atmospheric sciences, material and engineering sciences, mathematics and computer science. It prepares Europe's next top modelers to link simulations and the real world within a multi-disciplinary environment.
