The TriForce Project: Progress and Plans

POSTER

Abstract

We report on development progress of our particle-based hybrid fluid-kinetic simulation framework named TriForce. The GPU-accelerated code seeks to recover results from both radiation-magnetohydrodynamic and fully kinetic codes, as well as operate in between where both descriptions may co-exist and interact. Our group uses TriForce to investigate a range of topics in fields such as inertial confinement fusion, magneto-inertial fusion, magnetic confinement fusion, and high-energy-density physics. The goal of the TriForce Center for Multiphysics Modeling is to provide better predictive capability and access to modern and parallelized models for the benefit of the academic community. The current status of the project and its applications will be surveyed.
