Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including ...

Physics-informed model creates reconstructions based on experimental data, revealing plasma asymmetries and helping optimize ...

In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in plasma physics research. In the past, large magnetic fusion experiments have made considerable progress, with theory often being subordinate and ...

The US Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has developed a new simulation method that can ...

In initial tests modeling an argon plasma sheath, SLPIC yielded the correct sheath profiles (of potential, density, etc.) more than 100 times faster than the comparable PIC simulation. The SLPIC ...

The detailed simulation is the first basic physics, or first-principles-based, modeling with few simplifying assumptions. The research was achieved with the extreme-scale plasma turbulence code ...

From the ocean’s rolling swells to the bumpy ride of a jetliner, turbulence is everywhere. Yet despite its ubiquity, turbulence remains one of the greatest unsolved problems in physics. It's ...

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 ...
