Seminar, to
Vlado Menkovski
Abstract: Machine learning (ML) methods are taking a prominent role for surrogate modelling motivated by their capability to alleviate the high computational complexity of traditional methods. Moreover,ML-based methods are also well suited for problems where no symbolic models are available or where not all phenomena are fully understood while experimental data is available.
Seminar, to
Detlef Lohse
Abstract: The quantitative understanding of glacial ice melting into the ocean is one of the most outstanding challenges in environmental fluid dynamics. The lack of understanding is on a fundamental level, due to the highly complex multi-scale, multi-physics nature of the problem.
Seminar, to
From [W. Morris JPP colloquium Oct. 2024]
Abstract: Simulation of tokamak plasmas is a multi-physics challenge across multiple timescales. Coupled partial-differential-equations evolve quantities like current, heat, particles and momentum, over entire experiment timescales.
Seminar, to
Jaap G. van der Laan
Abstract: The ITER TBM Program, where TBM stands for Test Blanket Module, is a specific research activity within ITER, involving all ITER Members. It is foreseen to install a number of four different Test Blanket Systems, representative for tritium breeding concepts of the concerned ITER members and operate them simultaneously.
Seminar, to
Julia Tjus
Abstract: In the past decade, the field of astroparticle physics has gained momentum through major advancements in theory and observations. From the observational side, the detection of high-energy neutrinos from the cosmos gives a first hint on the origin of cosmic rays. Further.
