Dates
September 3–6, 2013
Location
High Performance Computer Innovation Center (HPCIC), Livermore Valley Open Campus (LVOC), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California, USA
Theme
BOUT++ is a collaboration between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), University of York, and a growing number of other institutions around the world. The mission of the 2013 BOUT++ Workshop is (1) to provide a forum for the discussion of key physics and computational issues as well as innovative concepts of direct relevance to fluid, and gyro-fluid plasma, and hybrid kinetic-fluid simulations; (2) to prepare researchers to use and further develop the BOUT++ code for simulations of edge turbulence, transport and ELMs in magnetic fusion devices; and (3) to promote effective collaboration within the BOUT community and beyond.
Format
This 4 day workshop, held at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) California, USA; covers tutorial lectures on the basics of the BOUT++ code and tools used by BOUT++, special lectures on plasma/material-surface interactions, integrated modeling, synthetic diagnostics for validating simulations, and on innovative numerical schemes and preconditioners, plus talks and posters in topical applications by present BOUT++ users/developers. Some sessions will include hands-on exercises using Linux machines.
