Innovative hybrid neutral models for the plasma edge modeling of nuclear fusion reactors KU Leuven
Plasma edge simulations are extensively used for the development of operational scenarios of existing and future magnetic confinement based fusion devices and the design of future reactors. One typically solves a set of Navier-Stokes like fluid equations for the plasma, whereas the neutral atoms and molecules are usually treated kinetically with a Monte Carlo simulation. An example of such a kinetic Monte Carlo code is the worldwide used ...
