Simulations using 3D and 2D full-wave codes have shown that edge filaments in tokamak plasmas can significantly affect the propagation of microwaves across a broad frequency spectrum, resulting in scattering angles of up to 46 degrees. Parameter scans were carried out for density perturbations comparable in width and amplitude to MAST filaments and the effect on the measured emission was calculated. 3D effects were discovered in the case of an obliquely incident beam. In general, the problem of EM propagation past wavelength-sized 3D inhomogeneities is not well understood, yet is of importance for both heating and diagnostic applications in the electron cyclotron frequency range for tokamaks, as well as atmospheric physics. To improve this understanding, a new cold-plasma code, EMIT-3D, was written to extend full-wave microwave simulations in magnetized plasmas to 3D, and make comparisons to the existing 2D code IPF-FDMC. This work supports MAST experiments using the SAMI diagnostic to image microwave emission from the plasma edge due to mode conversion from electron Bernstein waves. Significant fluctuations in the SAMI data mean that detailed modelling is required to improve its interpretation.

The Code O-SUKI-N 3D is an upgraded version of the 2D Code O-SUKI (Comput. Phys. Commun. 240, 83 (2019)). Code O-SUKI-N 3D is an integrated 3-dimensional (3D) simulation program system for fuel implosion, ignition and burning of a direct-drive nuclea
r-fusion pellet in heavy ion beam (HIB) inertial confinement fusion (HIF).The Code O-SUKI-N 3D consists of the three programs of Lagrangian fluid implosion program, data conversion program, and Euler fluid implosion, ignition and burning program. The Code O-SUKI-N 3D can also couple with the HIB illumination and energy deposition program of OK3 (Comput. Phys. Commun. 181, 1332 (2010)). The spherical target implosion 3D behavior is computed by the 3D Lagrangian fluid code until the time just before the void closure of the fuel implosion. After that, all the data by the Lagrangian implosion code are converted to the data for the 3D Eulerian code. In the 3D Euler code, the DT fuel compression at the stagnation, ignition and burning are computed. The Code O-SUKI-N 3D simulation system provides a capability to compute and to study the HIF target implosion dynamics.
When modeling laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) using the particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithm in a Lorentz boosted frame, the plasma is drifting relativistically at $beta_b c$ towards the laser, which can lead to a computational speedup of $sim gamma_
b^2=(1-beta_b^2)^{-1}$. Meanwhile, when LWFA is modeled in the quasi-3D geometry in which the electromagnetic fields and current are decomposed into a limited number of azimuthal harmonics, speedups are achieved by modeling three dimensional problems with the computation load on the order of two dimensional $r-z$ simulations. Here, we describe how to combine the speed ups from the Lorentz boosted frame and quasi-3D algorithms. The key to the combination is the use of a hybrid Yee-FFT solver in the quasi-3D geometry that can be used to effectively eliminate the Numerical Cerenkov Instability (NCI) that inevitably arises in a Lorentz boosted frame due to the unphysical coupling of Langmuir modes and EM modes of the relativistically drifting plasma in these simulations. In addition, based on the space-time distribution of the LWFA data in the lab and boosted frame, we propose to use a moving window to follow the drifting plasma to further reduce the computational load. We describe the details of how the NCI is eliminated for the quasi-3D geometry, the setups for simulations which combine the Lorentz boosted frame and quasi-3D geometry, the use of a moving window, and compare the results from these simulations against their corresponding lab frame cases. Good agreement is obtained, particularly when there is no self-trapping, which demonstrates it is possible to combine the Lorentz boosted frame and the quasi-3D algorithms when modeling LWFA to achieve unprecedented speedups.
Since it is possible to form laser pulses with a frequency much larger than the frequency of visible light, Prof. T.Tajima proposed using such pulse to accelerate the particles at its injection into the crystal. Here, the wakefield excitation in the
metallic-density plasma and the electron acceleration by laser pulse are simulated. The accelerating gradient has been ob-tained approximately 3TV/m. It is shown that, as in ordinary plasma, with time beam-plasma wakefield acceleration is added to laser wakefield acceleration.
In this work, we propose and compare four different strategies to simulate the fluid model for streamer propagation in one-dimension (1D) and quasi two-dimension (2D), which consists of a Poissons equation for particle velocity and two continuity equ
ations for particle transport. Each strategy involves of one method for solving Poissons equation and the other for solving continuity equations, and a total variation diminishing three-stage Runge-Kutta method in temporal discretization. The numerical methods for Poissons equation include finite volume method, discontinuous Galerkin methods, mixed finite element method and least-squared finite element method. The numerical method for continuity equations is chosen from the family of discontinuous Galerkin methods. The accuracy tests and comparisons show that all of these four strategies are suitable and competitive in streamer simulations from the aspects of accuracy and efficiency. Results show these methods are compatible. By applying any strategy in real simulations, we can study the dynamics of streamer propagations in both 1D and quasi 2D models.
Many phenomena in collisionless plasma physics require a kinetic description. The evolution of the phase space density can be modeled by means of the Vlasov equation, which has to be solved numerically in most of the relevant cases. One of the proble
ms that often arise in such simulations is the violation of important physical conservation laws. Numerical diffusion in phase space translates into unphysical heating, which can increase the overall energy significantly, depending on the time scale and the plasma regime. In this paper, a general and straightforward way of improving conservation properties of Vlasov schemes is presented that can potentially be applied to a variety of different codes. The basic idea is to use fluid models with good conservation properties for correcting kinetic models. The higher moments that are missing in the fluid models are provided by the kinetic codes, so that both kinetic and fluid codes compensate the weaknesses of each other in a closed feedback loop.
