Computational Plasma Physics
Section Info:
This course will cover computational methods and codes used to describe matter in the state of plasma. The course will include hands-on computational examples and projects. Topics will include: particle models such as initial value problems, finite-difference schemes in time, error quantification, Von Neumann stability analysis for particle in electric and magnetic fields. Methods for collisional processes in plasmas and for plasma-surface interactions. Fluid plasma models: diffusion-advection-reaction problems, plasma chemistry problems. Kinetic methods: particle-in-cells, Vlasov solvers, Boltzmann solvers. Recommended prerequisite: NPRE 421 or instructor approval.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
