Description

UKAEA's edge code PENKNIFE is under development, incorporating the finite element framework Nektar++ and the reactions library VANTAGE. The code is designed to be used with modern hardware, exploiting the higher arithmetic intensity of finite element methods and the GPU parallelism of NESO-Particles for improved performance. A range of features have been implemented, encompassing a hierarchy of complexity from simple mean-field transport to 3D turbulence. Results from the latest simulations are presented, including comparisons with SOLPS.
