Computational Methods for Fusion Technology (COMFUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The simulation of multidisciplinary applications use very often a combination of heterogeneous and disjoint numerical techniques that are hard to put together by the user, and whose mathematical foundation is obscure. An example of this situation is the numerical modeling of the physical processes taking place in nuclear fusion reactors. This problem, which can be modeled by a set of partial diffe ...
