The U.S. Department of Energy now has two major supercomputing systems aimed at accelerating fusion energy research through ...

The distribution function of energetic particles and the time evolution of the frequency spectrum of fluctuations. Initially, the energetic particle distribution function is mountain-like. It slopes ...

process engineer. Acceptance of such a simulation package would set the stage for the use of more complex models by industrial engineers. The rationale for these choices is that all three are major ...

How can coating and etching processes be made more efficient, robust, and data-driven? This question was the focus of the industry workshop “Plasma Process Simulation Tools for Industrial Coating and ...

This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected through the supposedly last confinement surface into the divertor plasma region. The long and thin lobes ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic ...

The most detailed simulation of the chaotic supersonic plasma that floats across our universe has revealed an intricate map of swirling magnetic fields. Clouds of charged particles, or plasmas, are ...

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of ...

The exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to new research about escaping plasma particles.
