Abstract
As the world moves away from traditional energy sources, based on fossil fuels, one promising clean alternative source is nuclear fusion. To accelerate the required breakthroughs in that community, numerical simulations and scientific visualizations over high-performance computing systems are mandatory. The proper display of data resulting from the simulation is key to the design, tune-up, and dissemination of nuclear fusion reactors. We present a computer-graphics model that uses the output of numerical simulations to create visually plausible images of plasma confinement. The model is based on a combination of computer graphics techniques implemented on a ray-tracing framework.
