DESCRIPTION:The speaker will present some of the work completed during the
 ir PhD studying the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability: the implementation of t
 he Braginskii transport model in the numerical tool "Cerberus"\, simulatio
 n results using the transport model\, limitations of the Braginskii model\
 , and transport models that may be relevant to other plasma regimes. In th
 is work\, the numerical solver "Cerberus" is used to simulate the Richtmye
 r-Meshkov instability in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) relevant plasma
 s. Cerberus\, written primarily by Dr Daryl Bond\, is built within the AMR
 eX framework. The Braginskii transport model is implemented in Cerberus to
  account for transport processes resulting from elastic collisions. These 
 processes amount to viscosity\, thermal conduction\, inter-species drag\, 
 and inter-species temperature exchange. Additionally\, the Braginskii form
 ulation of the transport coefficients include the anisotropy due to the pr
 esence of a magnetic field and diamagnetic effects. The transport effects 
 are found to dramatically alter the instability evolution and severity. Th
 e numerical stability of the Braginskii transport model appears fragile\, 
 and is not suitable for a wide variety of plasma regimes. Alternative mode
 ls exist for the transport effects with varying complexity and will be bri
 efly discussed.\n\n_About the speaker_\n*Kyriakos Tapinou* is a PhD candid
 ate at the University of Queensland\, who has also obtained a Bsc Hons deg
 ree in mechanical and aerospace engineering and BSC in Physics. His Honour
 s thesis studied computational fluid dynamics modeling cooling towers. His
  PhD studied plasma instabilities in inertial confinement fusion plasmas\,
  implementing transport effects in the Cerbeurs Plasma solver. Kyriakos’
  research interests are in fusion plasmas\, plasma fuel engines\, and mult
 i physics modelling.\n\n\n"Zoom link":https://us06web.zoom.us/j/8607027360
