An Efficient Surrogate Model of Secondary Electron Formation and Evolution

Christopher J. McDevitt, Jonathan Arnaud, Xian-Zhu Tang

This work extends the adjoint-deep learning framework for runaway electron (RE) evolution developed in Ref. [C. McDevitt et al., A physics-constrained deep learning treatment of ru…

A Physics-Constrained Deep Learning Treatment of Runaway Electron Dynamics

Christopher J. McDevitt, Jonathan Arnaud, Xian-Zhu Tang

An adjoint formulation leveraging a physics-informed neural network (PINN) is employed to advance the density moment of a runaway electron (RE) distribution forward in time. A dist…

A physics-constrained deep learning surrogate model of the runaway electron avalanche growth rate

Jonathan S. Arnaud, Tyler Mark, Christopher J. McDevitt

A surrogate model of the runaway electron avalanche growth rate in a magnetic fusion plasma is developed. This is accomplished by employing a physics-informed neural network (PINN)…

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…
