Project: Optimization of the Modeling of Interaction Between Turbulence and Sheared Flows
Student Researchers: Michelle Almeida, Amanda Gellhouse
Advisor: Dr. Kara L. Nance
Institution: University of Alaska Fairbanks




We are performing an exhaustive profiling of legacy FORTRAN code that models how well one can contain plasma using various methods such as sheared flows to minimize turbulent transport for the purposes of creating fusion. The project involves running timing tests, evaluating structure, improving performance serially and creating a graphical layout of the data flow.
