WELTPP-13: 25.-26. November 2010
The 13th Workshop on the Exploration of Low Temperature Plasma Physics (WELTPP-13) will be held on the 25th and 26th of November 2010 at the old convent Rolduc in Kerkrade. This workshop is intended for active scientists working in the field of low temperature plasma physics. The workshop is sponsored by the Research Department "Plasmas with complex interactions" of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, the "Centre for Plasma Physics" of the Queen’s University Belfast and the Dutch 'onderzoekschool Centrum voor Plasmafysica en Stralingstechnologie' (CPS) of the Eindhoven University of Technology.
The aim of this workshop is to create a forum for young low temperature plasma scientists, that is graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, to meet, learn from each other, exchange knowledge, present results and establish new contacts. The emphasis is on the presentation of the work of the people new in this field. The meeting will be a two days session starting on Thursday before lunch and finishing on Friday afternoon.

Computational Plasma Physics at the RUB and in Copenhagen
From 22.09. to 24.09.2010 an informal meeting on Computational Plasma Physics between the working group of Prof. Dr. Rainer Grauer and Prof. Dr. Åke Nordlund (Computational Astrophysics) has been held in Copenhagen at the Niels Bohr Institute. In particular, the progress of the use of graphics card clusters in this field was discussed.
On this occasion, Martin Rieke gave an introductory talk on CUDA and solving 2D EMHD equations on graphics cards. Dr. Christian Schwarz reported on his new framework cudaHYPE and its use in parallel solving of 3D MHD equations on a GPU cluster. From the Copenhagen group, Dr. Troels Haugbølle told us about his experiences with PIC (Particle in Cell) simulations on graphics cards.
In Prof. Grauer's talk, he explained strategies for coupling kinetic and fluid systems (Vlasov/MHD coupling). Last in the lecture series, Prof. Nordlund reported on new simulation results in the field of solar physics.
