Abstract

Based on the past two-decades activities at the Theory and Computer Simulation Center (TCSC) and the Department of Simulation Science (DSS) in the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), the Numerical Simulation Research Project (NSRP) has been launched to continue the activities in TCSC and DSS, and evolve them in a more systematic way for the re-organization of NIFS in 2010. In this study, the progress of simulation science at NIFS in the past two decades is reviewed and an overview of the NSRP for the foreseeable future is reported.
