Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Morrison is well known internationally for his outstanding contributions towards Hamiltonian action principles in plasma physics. He has discovered non canonical Hamiltonian formulations for many fluid and kinetic models of major importance in this field. During his stay in Germany, Professor Morrison will work on a discretization of Hamiltonian models that preserves exactly some underlying structure and thus can provide much better long time simulations of plasmas. |
