This conference aims to provide an intellectual platform for academicians, scientists, engineers, and participants from industries to exchange ideas, knowledge, and the latest information in the field of plasma simulation and create opportunities to work together for the advancement of plasma science and technology for human resource development as well as the development of skills.
The modelling of plasma sources and processes in space and laboratory plasma plays a central role in the field of plasma research and technology development. The use of extensive computer simulations enables the targeted optimization of technological plasmas and the development of new applications. This can reduce the practical implementation of costly and time-consuming experiments in laboratory and space. Furthermore, the simulations make it possible to determine parameters that are experimentally difficult to access and to analyze their behavior.
In view of bringing Indian plasma researchers from various branches of computational plasma physics on one platform, the first Conference on Plasma Simulation (CPS) was hosted by IISc (Bengaluru) in 2016. Subsequently, the idea of a biannual CPS emerged, and, the second and third CPS was held at (Ahmedabad) and IIA’s Raman Research Centre (Leh). The fourth CPS will be organized by the Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), during November 2024. With a growing space technology and remarkable achievements in space, fusion, and other plasma sectors in our country, the conference is rightly poised to gather eminent scientists, engineers, and students to deliberate on the latest findings and new developments in the field of computational plasma physics.
