Coupling Particle In Cell with High-Order Finite Elements and Uncertainty Quantification.

我的博士项目将与dr Peter Hill， David Dickinson和James Cook （UKAEA）一起完成。了解磁约束聚变等离子体的边缘区域对于确定整个装置的运行至关重要，并且也呈现了一些最复杂的物理。要充分模拟这一易挥发区域，需要多种模型，如单元内粒子模型和有限元模型。我的项目包括两个主要目标，首先是研究如何将这些模型耦合在一起，其次是量化其结果中的物理不确定性。这将使用来自ExCALIBUR的最先进的超级计算机，这是一个雄心勃勃的项目，将英国的研究带入下一代超大规模计算。

My PhD project will be with Drs Peter Hill, David Dickinson and James Cook (UKAEA). Understanding the edge region of magnetically-confined fusion plasmas is critical to determining the operation of the entire device, and also presents some of the most complex physics. Multiple models such as particle-in-cell and finite elements are required to fully simulate this volatile region. My project comprises two main objectives, first to investigate how these models can be coupled together, and secondly to quantify the physical uncertainty in their results. This will use state-of-the-art supercomputing from ExCALIBUR, an ambitious project to bring UK research into the next generation of exa-scale computation.
