RADIAL CORESCIENTIFIC

PIC & Plasma Simulation with Independent V&V

Simulations are only as useful as they are trustworthy. We design, run and analyse kinetic plasma simulations — and we verify them against analytical solutions, convergence studies and conservation laws before you ever see a plot.

Discuss your project How we verify results

Sound familiar?

  • ●Your simulation runs, but you are not sure the physics is right.
  • ●Numerical heating, noise or grid instabilities are contaminating results.
  • ●A reviewer has asked for convergence tests or a cross-code comparison.
  • ●You need simulations but have no in-house kinetic modelling expertise.

What we offer

Simulation studies

1D/2D/3D PIC, PIC-MCC and hybrid studies using WarpX, EPOCH, Smilei, OSIRIS, PIConGPU, VPIC or your own code.

Independent V&V audit

We benchmark your code or results against analytical theory and canonical test problems, then issue a signed verification report.

Cross-code comparison

The same problem run in two independent codes to separate physics from numerics.

Parameter scans & UQ

Automated scans, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification on HPC.

Δx≲λD=ε0kBTenee2,ωpΔt≲0.2\Delta x \lesssim \lambda_D = \sqrt{\dfrac{\varepsilon_0 k_B T_e}{n_e e^2}}, \qquad \omega_p \Delta t \lesssim 0.2
Two of the dozens of numerical-stability conditions we check on every run.

Frequently asked

Which codes do you work with?+

Open codes such as WarpX, EPOCH, Smilei, OSIRIS (with licence), PIConGPU, VPIC and XOOPIC-family 1D/2D codes, plus in-house research codes. We can also work inside your commercial licence.

Who owns the results?+

You do. All input decks, data and figures are delivered to you, and we sign an NDA on request.

Can you run on our cluster?+

Yes — on your cluster, a national facility allocation, or cloud HPC that we set up and manage for the project.
