International Initiatives

Inria International Labs

IPL FRATRES MINGuS is associated to IPL FRATRES which started in june 2015. The aim of this project is to organize Inria teams activities which develop mathematical and numerical tools in magnetically confined nuclear fusion. The ambition is to prepare the next generation of numerical modeling methodologies able to use in an optimal way the processing capabilities of modern massively parallel architectures. This objective requires close collaboration between a) applied mathematicians and physicists that develop and study mathematical models of PDE; b) numerical analysts developing approximation schemes; c) specialists of algorithmics proposing solvers and libraries using the many levels of parallelism offered by the modern architecture and d) computer scientists. The project road map ambitions to contribute in close connection with National and European initiatives devoted to nuclear Fusion to the improvement and design of numerical simulation technologies applied to plasma physics and in particular to the ITER project for magnetic confinement fusion.

The IPL FRATRES ends at the end of the year. The final meeting was organized in november during which X. Zhao (former IPL postdoc), G. Morel (IPL postdoc) and N. Crouseilles have presented the kinetic activities of the IPL project.

Postdoc

  • Xiaofei Zhao has been hired as a postdoc, under the supervision of Nicolas Crouseilles and Sever Hirstoaga (Inria-Nancy). His contract started in october 2016 and ended in september 2017. Xiaofei Zhao is now postdoc in the MINGuS team.

  • Guillaume Morel has been hired as a postdoc, under the supervision of Nicolas Crouseilles and Michel Mehrenberger (AMU). His contract started in october 2018 and ended in september 2019.

Inria Associate Teams Not Involved in an Inria International Labs

ANTIpODE

  • Title: Asymptotic Numerical meThods for Oscillatory partial Differential Equations with uncertainties

  • International Partner (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):

    • University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA (United States) - DEPARTMENT MATHEMATICS - Shi Jin

  • Start year: 2018

  • See also: https://team.inria.fr/antipode/

  • The proposed associate team assembles the Inria team MINGuS and the research group led by Prof. Shi Jin from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The main scientific objective of ANTIpODE consists in marrying uniformly accurate and uncertainty quantification techniques for multi-scale PDEs with uncertain data. Multi-scale models, as those originating e.g. from the simulation of plasma fusion or from quantum models, indeed often come with uncertainties. The main scope of this proposal is thus (i) the development of uniformly accurate schemes for PDEs where space and time high oscillations co-exist and (ii) their extension to models with uncertainties. Applications to plasmas (Vlasov equations) and graphene (quantum models) are of paramount importance to the project.
