SciDAC Center for Plasma Edge Simulation

The work to be performed is part of the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (OFES)/Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (OASCR) Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) project Center for Plasma Edge Simulations. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will carry out the following activities during the course of this project: (1) (Reference Project ERAT133) study plasma-surface interaction and atomic physics data, improve hydrogen molecule physics data used by the neutral transport module, and aid in upgrading surface physics in DEGAS2; (2) assist in optimizing the SGC-ET code; and (3) coordinate data management related tasks, develop data monitoring tools, and work on an integrated framework for data analysis and visualization.
