Description:Integrator of Stochastic Differential Equations for
Plasmas
Abstract:The purpose of this code is solving the
collisional transport in fusion plasmas using the equivalence between
the Fokker-Planck and Langevin equation (Stochastic Differential
Equation). Altought in principle it solves the linearized kinetic
equation, we include non linear terms using an iterative method. Several
features can be taken into account in the equations, for example the
presence of divertors and ion heating (ICH and NBI). This code has been
succesfully used in the TJ-II stellarator (CIEMAT) and is currently
working with ITER. As it is a Montecarlo sequencial code, it scales
perfectly in clusters with slow connections between nodes. ISDEP has
been ported to the EGEE grid and Ibercivis, a volunteer computing
platform. It has also been used in int.eu.grid project as computing core
for interactive visual fusion simulations (IVISDEP) and is taking part
in other grid projects like EDGeS and EUFORIA. The main advantages of
ISDEP is the absence of common approximations assumed in other codes.
For example, there is no assumption in the complexity of the system
geometry.
