Magnetohydrodynamic Plasma-fusion Applications

This project entails a numerical simulation for the problem of Magnetohydrodynamic plasma-fusion applications. The objective of the project is to study the stability analysis regarding the case of a confined cylinder with an axial magnetic field, and spectral element codes will be utilised for this analysis. Use of the MSG is crucial for the project, as one simulation run for a high degree of polynomial results would take days on a desktop computer, but with multiple cores the simulation time would be reduced dramatically.
