ISMFA
- International School on Magnetohydrodynamics and Fusion Applications
09-16
September 2011
THE APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN! National Applicants , International Applicants
For REGISTRATION, send your CV to

The
main purpose of the school is to teach the basics of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
and fusion researches. A bridge between the basic principles of MHD and the
advanced researches on fusion will be founded. Fusion energy is the best hope
of Mankind for a long-term clean energy solution; and this school will play a
role in the increased interest among the scientific community in this area.
Thus, we aim to enhance the understanding of the plasma dynamics in a magnetic
and heated environment, that affects the yields of fusion events. With this
respect, the school courses cover plasma sytems modelling, instabilities,
convection, turbulence, nonlinear aspects of MHD, inertial electrostatic
confinement (IEC) and plasma focus (PF) devices within 7 days.
We
believe that this international school will enhance the interest on MHD and
fusion studies and the students from undergraduate, M.Sc and Ph.D programs as
well as the postgraduate researchers would have an opportunity to flourish
their understandings and/or researches on the cutting-edge physics of the
topics above. This event will also have a poster session and presentation
covering the studies of students. Thereby, we hope that the students will have
an opportunity to improve their researches on MHD and fusion further based on
the suggestions. Another aim is to increase the interest on fusion, which is
the most efficient energy type in universe. With this regard, the physics of
inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) and plasma focus (PF) devices is
presented and future perspectives on these topics are considered.
The
achievement of the courses will be evaluated by homeworks. In addition to the
courses practises and simulation studies by using computers will be realized.
The students will be able to apply the codes and other materials when they
return to their country. .
The
outlines of the scientific programme can be stated in two main divisions:
1)
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) problems,
2)
Fusion modelling and plasma instabilities
In
the first part, the basics of MHD is presented. The dynamic equations such as
Navier-Stokes and conservation equations will be explained in a magnetic media.
The effect of heating under a certain temperature gradient and basic
instabilities will also be explained.
In
the second part of the course, fusion modelling is handled. The use of the Lee
model-based Universal Plasma Focus Laboratory Facility and the multi-component
cathode modelling in an IEC is explained in detail. Some applications will also
be realized in the intensive hands-on computer numerical experiments sessions.
The school lectures include a hands-on
(computer simulation practice) fusion presentations. Therefore the participants
are recommended to bring their notebook along. Note that the standart software
should be available in your notebook. Please also note that strong candidates
are recommended to apply for an oral presentation about their research in a
short talk which will be selected by the application committee. In the
application form please select the oral presentation option and send a brief
abstract of your talk to ismfa2011@gmail.com as well as the IARS project
coordination office at betul@fen.bilkent.edu.tr.
