National Actions

The ANR ESPOIR (Edge Simulation of the Physics Of Iter Relevant turbulent transport) associates the pumas  team with the M2P2, LPIIM and LATP laboratories in Marseille and IRFM in Cadarache to investigate edge plasma turbulence. The numerical simulation of the plasma wall interactions requires efficient codes and thus the development of advanced numerical methods and solvers. The aim of this ANR is to study different numerical strategies for edge plasma models in realistic geometrical and magnetical configurations corresponding to the future Iter machine.
