Following on fromn the discussion on PIC codes. Is there much activity in using Julia for fusion and plasma simulations? Any pointers gratefully received.

Slightly off topic, here’s a recent paper that is very interesting. They 'black box optimized and tripled yield. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-0877-0.pdf

Not to my knowledge–people might be playing with toy programs on single nodes, but the language hasn’t been stable for long enough to get buy-in to build a full radiation hydro code with a lifespan of 15-30 years. The nuts & bolts C++/Fortran approach still dominates. The ability to easily extend ke…

I’m a fusion researcher and I use Julia as my primary programming language. I started the JuliaFusion Organization a while back but, for the moment, none of the packages are registered (I’m waiting for the v1.2 release) and they are only used for my own research.

Thankyou all. I am talking to the UK fusion research centre tomorrow. All responses are very helpful.

I built a 0-D fusion systems code with Jeff Freidberg for my masters thesis : https://github.com/djsegal/Fussy.jl Haven’t updated it to Julia v1+ though, so YMMV… // notebooks can be found: here

The University of Wisconsin stellarator research group is using Julia: WISTELL · GitLab

Thats pretty cool! We wrote a paper on 0-D tokamak design [ segal & freidberg ] using Julia // have been interested in expanding it to stellarators :slight_smile: edit: also im a former badger! hope the terrace is nice this summer

Yeah, there’s a healthy Julia contingent at Madison with package development by groups in stats, system bio, optimization, and fusion (that I know of). We should’ve done a meetup at the Terrace during JuliaCon!

I would be interested in a Julia in fusion energy meeting. Anyone else?

I’ve implemented a simple PIC code in Julia, but it’s more a side-project.
