〈Plasma Turbulence Research / Extreme Plasma Collaborative Research〉 Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A research center that explores plasma turbulence through experiments, theory, and simulation.
AboutAbout the lab
Tackling the elucidation of plasma turbulence.
The Center for Extreme Plasma Research Collaboration works to elucidate plasma turbulence phenomena through experiments, simulations, and analysis using the linear device PANTA.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter, distinct from solids, liquids, and gases, and the study of turbulence is a foundational research area for understanding nuclear fusion and space and astrophysical science.
The Center is a university-wide joint education and research facility of Kyushu University, located within the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, where researchers in plasma experiments, simulation, and theory work together.
It was established to become a central hub for plasma physics through collaboration in Japan and abroad, and it also works to make Kyushu University a core institution for plasma physics research and international career paths.
Key terms
- Plasma turbulence
- Disordered, turbulent flow that arises within a plasma. A phenomenon found universally in the laboratory and in space.
- Magnetic confinement fusion
- A method of nuclear fusion in which plasma is confined by a magnetic field. Turbulence is considered a factor that determines the performance of the core plasma.
- Linear device PANTA
- A linear plasma device that this Center uses for experiments, simulations, and analysis of plasma turbulence.
ResearchResearch themes
The Center focuses on research into plasma turbulence, with the aim of understanding nonequilibrium plasmas in extreme states. By combining theory, simulation, and experiment, it investigates the properties of plasmas in extreme nonequilibrium, nonlinear states.
*Illustrative imageIntegrated Research on Plasma Turbulence
Turbulent plasmas are found universally in the laboratory and in space, and in magnetic confinement fusion they are a factor that determines the performance of the core plasma. Researchers in plasma experiments, simulation, and theory collaborate to study it in an integrated way.
*Illustrative imageNationwide Collaboration on Nonequilibrium Extreme Plasmas
This is a nationwide research plan that aims to systematize fields that have developed independently until now, such as plasma turbulence, high-energy-density plasmas, and nano- and bio-plasmas, and to establish the scientific foundations of nonequilibrium extreme plasmas.
