We discuss a new approach to plasma fluid simulations that leads to fast, simple, and reliable codes. This can be achieved by using the anti-symmetric representation of the fluid models, which exposes the underlying conservation laws in a way that is directly translatable to computers. The method is completely generic -- we show examples of its application in MHD and turbulence simulations in large modern clusters.MIT NW17-218 is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
