The consortium with 3 partners brings together plasma physicists, applied mathematicians, and computational scientists (a list of the participants is presented at the beginning of application). It has a longstanding expertise in numerical methods and codes developments, and in fluid simulations involving turbulent transport and magnetic equilibrium in tokamak plasmas.
M2P2 : Gathering researchers from three laboratories in Marseilles (M2P2 (Laboratoire de Mécanique, Modélisation & Procédés Propres UMR7340) / LPIIM (Laboratoire de Physique des Interactions Ioniques et Moléculaires UMR7345) / I2M (Institut de Mathématiques de Marseille UMR7373)), this partner associates skills in computational fluid mechanics, applied mathematics and plasma physics. This pole hosts the last generation of french edge plasma codes in connexion with IRFM.
The team: Giorgio Giorgiani, Jacques Liandrat, Yannick Marandet, Michel Mehrenberger, Frédéric Schwander, Manuel Scotto, Eric Serre
IRFM (Institut de Recherche sur la fusion par confinement magnétique) (CEA-Cadarache). For more than 50 years, its responsibility has been to carry out research on thermonuclear magnetic fusion at the CEA in association with the Euratom Fusion Programme. IRFM operates the WEST superconducting tokamak which is equipped with an ITER-like full tungsten divertor” et ajouter le lien vers le site official de l’IRFM : http://irfm.cea.fr/.
