A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory-led project aimed at using computing tools to improve understanding of fusion plasma dynamics was among 12 projects recently awarded funding by the Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate fusion power plant development.
The four-year, multi-institutional Advanced Boundary Plasma Dynamics (ABOUND) project will receive $9.25 million from the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program, which combines the DOE Office of Science’s Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) and Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) programs to support research on computational projects in fusion energy science.
