Development of Educational Programs for Human Resources in Nuclear Fusion

We open below resource of educational program supported by Haeorum Alliance Nuclear Innovation Center to promote more students getting benefits hopefully in addition to students in UNIST and South East area of South Korea.

Particle simulations

  1. F=ma, ODE Integrator
  2. Simulating a few particles: direct particle-particle interactions
  3. Introduction to kinetic theory
  4. Introduction to Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method
    1. Initialize
    2. Scatter/Gather
    3. Push
    4. Solve
  5. Exercise: 1D Electrostatic PIC code
