A Physics-Informed Neural Network for Solving the Quasi-static Magnetohydrodynamic Equations

Jonathan S. Arnaud, Christopher J. McDevitt, Golo Wimmer +1

A physics-informed neural network (PINN) is developed, for the first time, to learn the time-dependent quasi-static magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in axisymmetric tokamak geom…

An Adjoint Formulation of Energetic Particle Confinement

Christopher J. McDevitt, Jonathan S. Arnaud

An adjoint formulation of energetic particle confinement in axisymmetric tokamak geometry is derived and evaluated using a physics-informed neural network (PINN). The PINN estimate…

The Impact of Collisionality on the Runaway Electron Avalanche during a Tokamak Disruption

Jonathan Arnaud, Christopher McDevitt

The exponential growth (avalanching) of runaway electrons (REs) during a tokamak disruption continues to be a large uncertainty in RE modeling. The present work investigates the im…
