DESCRIPTION:The physics governing magnetic plasma confinement in tokamaks 
 involves complex interacting nonlinear processes spanning disparate tempor
 al and spatial scales\, and as a result their computational modelling is c
 hallenging. In this talk we present a mathematical formulation and a numer
 ical algorithm suitable for the three-dimensional simulation of the comple
 te plasma field (from core to the first wall\, including the edge and scra
 pe off layer) and its electromagnetic interaction with the first wall. We 
 then employ the algorithm to study transient magnetohydrodynamic events (e
 dge localized modes and vertical displacements). The study reveals gaps in
  the underlying mathematical knowledge which will benefit from a synergy b
 etween continuum- and atomic-scale computational physics.
