FUSE (Fusion Synthesis Engine): A Next Generation Framework for Integrated Design of Fusion Pilot Plants
O. Meneghini, T. Slendebroek, B. C. Lyons +15
The Fusion Synthesis Engine (FUSE) is a state-of-the-art software suite designed to revolutionize fusion power plant design. FUSE integrates first-principle models, machine learnin…
Core performance predictions in projected SPARC first-campaign plasmas with nonlinear CGYRO
P. Rodriguez-Fernandez, N. T. Howard, A. Saltzman +7
This work characterizes the core transport physics of SPARC early-campaign plasmas using the PORTALS-CGYRO framework. Empirical modeling of SPARC plasmas with L-mode confinement in…
Prediction of Performance and Turbulence in ITER Burning Plasmas via Nonlinear Gyrokinetic Profile Prediction
N. T. Howard, P. Rodriguez-Fernandez, C. Holland +1
Burning plasma performance, transport, and the effect of hydrogen isotope on confinement has been predicted for ITER baseline scenario (IBS) conditions using nonlinear gyrokinetic…
Enhancing predictive capabilities in fusion burning plasmas through surrogate-based optimization in core transport solvers
P. Rodriguez-Fernandez, N. T. Howard, A. Saltzman +6
This work presents the PORTALS framework, which leverages surrogate modeling and optimization techniques to enable the prediction of core plasma profiles and performance with nonli…
