CPS Seminar Presentation via BlueJeans Videoconferencing Seminar Title: Modeling and Optimization of Plasma Material Interactions for Nuclear Energy and Photon Source Industrial Applications Speaker: Tatyana Sizyuk, Associate Director of CMUXE and Assistant Professor Affiliation: Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN Date: Wednesday, July 21, 2021 Time: 10:00 am – 11:00 am Host: Tim Williams Abstract: Various computational methods integrated in multi-physics multi-dimensional packages were developed for the analysis and optimization of systems and devices in current vital applications. These packages are well-benchmarked with in-house and world-wide experiments. Results will be presented including, among others, plasma-material interactions in nuclear fusion reactors, development and optimization of photon sources for advanced nanolithography of future computer chips, and Water Window (WW) microscopy for biomedical applications. By integrating multi-physics with various numerical methods, e.g., Monte Carlo models for particle/matter interactions and photon transport with advanced deterministic methods for hydrodynamics and heat conduction in plasma, heat and particle diffusion, atomic segregation and desorption in plasma facing materials, we explained numerous recent experimental data and made predictions later confirmed in subsequent experiments. Simulated systems include laser- and discharge-produced plasmas for photon sources, electron and ion beam guns, and fusion devices, e.g., NSTX (Princeton), DIII-D (General Atomics), and ITER reactors. Challenges and development of multi-dimensional multi-physics packages and their optimizations for parallel calculations will also be discussed.
