Topics
The main focus of the conference is centered around, but not
limited to:
Plasma simulations
• Space and astrophysical plasmas
• Magnetic and inertial fusion plasmas
• Intense laser interaction with plasma
• Beam and accelerator physics
• Low temperature, dusty and nano-plasma
• Various plasma-based devices
Numerical methods for plasma simulations
• MHD, other fluid methods for plasma
• Kinetic plasma methods - PIC and Vlasov
• Hybrid methods, including PIC-DSMC
• Gyro-kinetic and gyro-fluid methods
• Grid-free methods and molecular dynamics
• High-order, adaptive and multi-scale methods
• Scientific visualization for numerical simulation
This conference has also been an important forum for communication
of new ideas in algorithm development, massively parallel processing
and programming techniques.
