Scientific Overview
This workshop is intended to be a cross-cutting session that will focus on the
fundamental modeling challenges that arise when simulating high energy density
plasmas. This includes aspects of classical magnetohydrodynamics, five and
six-dimensional formulations of plasma transport theory, plasma-material
interactions, and the design of robust analytic techniques for software
verification. These are all “multi-physics” problems, involving electromagnetic
interactions, turbulent fluid behavior, and both quantum mechanical and
relativistic corrections. These problems are also “multi-scale”, requiring
multi-resolution/hybrid algorithms and sub-grid modeling. We will consider
methods for the simulation of the governing integro-differential equations that
scale with problem size and are suitable for high-performance computing,
including exa-scale and peta-scale platforms. One goal of the workshop is to make
the modeling challenges accessible to applied mathematicians and computational
scientists with little or no prior experience in plasma physics.
This workshop will include a poster session; a request for posters will be sent to
registered participants in advance of the workshop.
