A 1/2-day of IDEAS about the dynamics of plasmas in tokamaks and their numerical simulations.

This event is part of a series of scientific activities, organized by the Department of Mathematics of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, under the auspices of the MIUR Excellence Department Project and the Mission Sustainability Project IDEAS (Isogeometric methoDs in Evolution: theory and ApplicationS).

 

Invited Speakers

• Cristel Chandre (CNRS/Aix-Marseille University, France)
• Philippe Ghendrih (CEA-IRFM, France)
• Ahmed Ratnani (Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Germany)
