About Us
-
CompX
is a consulting group comprised of a project director and several
physicists who focus on computational modeling of the
auxiliary heating of magnetic confinement, fusion energy and
plasma devices.
We are engaged in long term
development and upgrading of computer modeling codes which
give phase-space distributions of electrons
and ions resulting from DC electric field, rf wave, plasma sources, and radial
transport in toroidal
magnetic confinement devices; and in open magnetic systems such as
magnetic mirrors.
These comprehensive physics-based models have proven useful
for interpretation and
projection of plasma heating, current drive, and particle source
experiments in tokamak,
spherical tokamak, reverse
field pinch, and the GDT axisymmetric mirror plasmas.
- Our goal is to contribute to harnessing fusion energy, the
energy driving the sun, as an economically viable, carbon-free power source for
humankind.
- The codes are open source, after the main development stage. We provide
support for their use, and further development as needed, under contracts from the USDOE Fusion Energy Science Program, universities and industry.
- On the sidebar, you can find information on our major codes:
brief descriptions, code manuals, and output from test cases illustrating code
functionality.
