MOOSE Workshop on Plasma Simulation at the GEC 2018
In November 2018 the LCPP team from UIUC (S. Keniley, Prof. D. Curreli) offered a workshop at the 71st Annual Gaseous Electronics Conference in Portland, Oregon, on the open-source MOOSE Finite Element Framework in collaboration with NCSU (C. Icenhour, C. DeChant, Prof. S. Shannon) and INL (C. Permann, A. Lindsay, and R. Martineau).
The workshop was designed to be a hands-on tutorial on the MOOSE framework, with a focus on plasma simulation. The workshop was divided into 9 parts, each part consisting of approximately a 30 minute lecture and a 30 minute hands-on session.
The workshop was designed to be accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of programming and partial differential equations. The workshop was designed to be interactive, with the audience following along on their own laptops.
The first portion of the workshop included basic tutorials on the MOOSE framework, the finite element method, the Laplace and Poisson equations, custom diffusion kernels, transient analysis, fluid equations, and coupling.
The second portion of the workshop included tutorials on plasma simulation, including the plasma transport code Zapdos, and the plasma chemistry code CRANE.
Recordings on the workshop are available below, from both Session 1 and Session 2. If the videos do not load, please try refreshing the page, or copy the links and watch them on YouTube.
