Minutes of the CLIC Meeting - 6 February 2004


Agenda:
Wake field simulations using GdfidL
Speakers:
E.Jensen, A.Grudiev, I.Syratchev, D.Schulte

 
Abstract:
GdfidL is a finite differences time domain (FDTD) electro-magnetic field simulation program, which features parallel computing on a Linux PC cluster. It renders possible the rigorous numerical simulation of extremely complex geometries, in particular tapered and damped accelerating structures that are considered for future linear colliders.
The CLIC study group has invested in a cluster of 7 CERN-standard Farm-PC's, dedicated to run very large GdfidL simulations (28 GB RAM). Wake field simulations on this new cluster were benchmarked against ASSET measurement data and have obtained unprecedented precision. Also first simulations of LHC collimators have been performed.
