Disruption Mitigation

The construction of the Lebanese Linear Plasma Device [LLPD) started (check here for more details)

The Double-sided design of the LLPD

We are building the LLPD (click to see more)

We are engaged in both experimental and theoretical aspects of research in plasma physics and fluid dynamics.

Areas of research include:

Turbulence in fluids;
Turbulence in fusion devices;
Disruptions and their mitigation in tokamaks;
Numerical simulation of turbulence;
Effects of wave heating on turbulence.
