Description:Massive Ray Tracing in Fusion Plasma
Abstract:Plasma heating in magnetic confinement fusion devices can be performed by launching a
microwave beam with frequency in the range of the cyclotron frequency of either ions
or electrons, or close to one of their harmonics. The Electron Cyclotron Resonance
Heating (ECRH) is characterized by the small size of the wavelength that allows one
to study the wave properties using the geometrical optics approximations. This means
that the microwave beam can be simulated by a large amount of rays. Being all the ray computations
independent, this problem is well suited to be solved in the grid relying on the EGEE
infrastructure.
The framework has been implemented using the standard DRMAA API provided by GridWay.
