Plasma physics
A recent study published in Physics of Plasmas has shed light on the accuracy of the standard formula for calculating the diamagnetic signal in a tokamak, a device used to confine and study plasmas. Researchers used the SPIDER code to calculate plasma equilibrium in a tokamak with a circular plasma
Plasma physics
Research conducted at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has provided new data on plasma physics, specifically in the study of shock propagation in aerogel and two-photon polymerization (TPP) foams for inertial fusion energy target design. The research aimed to understand the behavior of shock fronts in low-density materials, which is crucial
Plasma physics
Researchers from the University of Colorado have conducted a study on the phenomenon of grid heating in plasma physics simulations. Grid heating occurs when the Debye length is not resolved in a simulation using particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithms, causing the plasma to unphysically heat. The study presents detailed numerical measurements of
