Plasma Simulation in Ido Lab.

Supercomputing in the studies

Supercomputing is applied to the large scale computer simulations on the following studies.

* Plasma engineering of ion beams

* Plasma engineering of ion sources

* Plasma engineering of industrial applications

* Nuclear fusion

* Particle deposition

* Electromagnetic analysis.

The numerical methods are (1) particle orbit tracing in the electromagnetic fields (2) Monte Carlo method for collosions (3) Finite Element Method to obtain the potentials. Both usual vector processors and parallel processors are used in the present supercomputing. Parallel computing is suitable and useful in Monte Carlo simulations. Visualization is also very useful to analyze the two or three dimensional features of particle motions. (S.Ido)
