The originality of this approach lies, first, in its ability to generate meshes aligned with the curved magnetic field lines. Such meshes significantly reduce numerical diffusion, a critical issue that remains insufficiently addressed in many existing simulation codes. Second, the approach will enable these meshes to be dynamically adapted throughout the simulation.
The objective of this project is to extend the capabilities of NICE to perform computations on moving, field-aligned meshes, thereby providing the most suitable framework for future ITER simulations.
