The\u00a0 13th International Symposium on Fusion Nuclear Technology (ISFNT<\/a><\/strong>) symposium took place at Kyoto, Japan,\u00a0from the 25th to the 29th of September. The aim of the conference was to share the current status of fusion world wide. The speakers gave an overview on ITER<\/a> construction\u00a0and DEMO<\/a>\u00a0design and as well as present status and progress on a wide variety of fusion reactor topics.<\/p>\n

Our Fusion group member Dr Albert Guti\u00e9rrez <\/em><\/strong>participated in the\u00a0conference and presented a poster entitled “New High Performance Computing Software for Multiphysics Simulations of Fusion Reactors<\/em>“. The poster\u00a0introduced\u00a0the HPC mechanical code Alya<\/a>\u00a0to the fusion\u00a0community as well as presented a new neutronics code within this tool.<\/p>\n

It is well known that fusion reactor modelling requires significant computing\u00a0resources. For example, the Marconi-Fusion <\/a>supercomputer of EUROfusion is\u00a0the 14th most powerful supercomputer<\/strong> in the world and dedicated solely for fusion simulations. Significant resources are required since the design of new fusion reactors demands analysis and modelling of its components as well as the plasma behaviour,\u00a0which requires the power of thousands of CPUs working together. In our fusion group\u00a0we\u00a0are developing\u00a0a highly efficient code based on Alya for fusion simulations to make efficient use of computing resources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
