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

我的博士项目将与彼得·希尔博士、大卫·狄金森博士和詹姆斯·库克博士(UKAEA)合作。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，同时也展示了一些最复杂的物理现象。要完全模拟这一挥发性区域，需要多种模型，如单胞粒子模型和有限元模型。我的项目包括两个主要目标，第一是调查如何将这些模型结合在一起，第二是量化结果中的物理不确定性。这将使用来自埃克斯卡利伯的最先进的超级计算，这是一个雄心勃勃的项目，旨在将英国的研究带入下一代大规模计算。

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.
