The participant expresses a desire to explore advanced courses and simulation codes related to Fusion and Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Recommendations include utilizing textbooks from previous courses and considering additional studies in plasma physics and radiation interactions with matter.

PREREQUISITES
  • Bachelor's degree in Nuclear and Radiation Engineering
  • Basic understanding of Plasma Physics
  • Familiarity with Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
  • Knowledge of simulation codes used in plasma research
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced courses in Plasma Physics and Fusion
  • Explore simulation tools used in Fusion research, such as COMSOL Multiphysics
  • Study textbooks on Plasma Physics and radiation interaction with matter
  • Investigate online resources and forums dedicated to MHD and Fusion technology
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in nuclear engineering, researchers in plasma physics, and anyone interested in advancing their knowledge in Fusion technology and simulation methodologies.

I just finished my Bsc. in nuclear and radiation engineering, and in my senior year i took a plasma physics and fusion course and was introduced to Fusion, MHD etc. , but the course did not dive deep into them.

I am really interested in this field, wether Plasma physics only or Fusion. I want to dive deeper into this field and learn more courses about it, and know all the codes that are used for simulation etc..

If someone can give me a brief guide or knows a good course or guide it would be really helpful🙏

Why not use references from your textbook to dig deeper? By the time you graduate you should be able to do this on your own.

What textbook did one use in the course?

One should consider taking courses in plasma physics and radiation interaction with matter: plasmas, gases and solids.
