Abstract:
The installation of the ITER large-scale magnetic confinement fusion experiment in France has triggered the involvement of French scientists from different communities in this Project. There is now a collaborative effort between applied mathematicians, computer scientists and physicist aiming at designing robust and efficient codes for ITER simulations. In this talk, after recalling the context of ITER and the challenges of magnetic fusion we are going to present the ongoing effort towards the development of simulation codes for different problems related to magnetic fusion
