Accurate derivative evaluation for any Grad–Shafranov solver

Journal Article Ricketson, L. F. ; Cerfon, A.J., E-mail: cerfon@cims.nyu.edu ; Rachh, M. ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

We present a numerical scheme that can be combined with any fixed boundary finite element based Poisson or Grad–Shafranov solver to compute the first and second partial derivatives of the solution to these equations with the same order of convergence as the solution itself. At the heart of our scheme is an efficient and accurate computation of the Dirichlet to Neumann map through the evaluation of a singular volume integral and the solution to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Our numerical method is particularly useful for magnetic confinement fusion simulations, since it allows the evaluation of quantitiesmore »« less

An adaptive fast multipole accelerated Poisson solver for complex geometries

Journal Article Askham, T. ; Cerfon, A. J. - Journal of Computational Physics

Here, we present a fast, direct and adaptive Poisson solver for complex two-dimensional geometries based on potential theory and fast multipole acceleration. More precisely, the solver relies on the standard decomposition of the solution as the sum of a volume integral to account for the source distribution and a layer potential to enforce the desired boundary condition. The volume integral is computed by applying the FMM on a square box that encloses the domain of interest. For the sake of efficiency and convergence acceleration, we first extend the source distribution (the right-hand side in the Poisson equation) to the enclosing box as amore »« less

An integral equation-based numerical solver for Taylor states in toroidal geometries

Journal Article O'Neil, Michael ; Cerfon, Antoine J. - Journal of Computational Physics

Here we present an algorithm for the numerical calculation of Taylor states in toroidal and toroidal-shell geometries using an analytical framework developed for the solution to the time-harmonic Maxwell equations. Taylor states are a special case of what are known as Beltrami fields, or linear force-free fields. The scheme of this work relies on the generalized Debye source representation of Maxwell fields and an integral representation of Beltrami fields which immediately yields a well-conditioned second-kind integral equation. This integral equation has a unique solution whenever the Beltrami parameter λ is not a member of a discrete, countable set of resonancesmore »« less

An integral equation formulation for rigid bodies in Stokes flow in three dimensions

Journal Article Corona, Eduardo ; Greengard, Leslie ; Rachh, Manas ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

Here we present a new derivation of a boundary integral equation (BIE) for simulating the three-dimensional dynamics of arbitrarily-shaped rigid particles of genus zero immersed in a Stokes fluid, on which are prescribed forces and torques. Our method is based on a single-layer representation and leads to a simple second-kind integral equation. It avoids the use of auxiliary sources within each particle that play a role in some classical formulations. We use a spectrally accurate quadrature scheme to evaluate the corresponding layer potentials, so that only a small number of spatial discretization points per particle are required. The resulting discrete sums are computed inmore »« less

A Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin solver for the Grad–Shafranov equation

Journal Article Sánchez-Vizuet, Tonatiuh ; Solano, Manuel E. - Computer Physics Communications

In axisymmetric fusion reactors, the equilibrium magnetic configuration can be expressed in terms of the solution to a semi-linear elliptic equation known as the Grad–Shafranov equation, the solution of which determines the poloidal component of the magnetic field. When the geometry of the confinement region is known, the problem becomes an interior Dirichlet boundary value problem. We propose a high order solver based on the Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin method. The resulting algorithm (1) provides high order of convergence for the flux function and its gradient, (2) incorporates a novel method for handling piecewise smooth geometries by extension from polygonal meshes,more »« less
