Current Research/Projects
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: PRACE-6IP - PRACE 6th Implementation Phase Project
Sub-project leader: Alexander Ostermann (Funding body: EU - Horizon 2020)
PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing is the permanent pan-European High Performance Computing service providing world-class systems for world-class science. Systems at the highest performance level (Tier-0) are deployed by Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, providing researchers with more than 17 billion core hours of compute time. read more
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.
