Multiphysics tritium transport modelling of the ARC breeding blanket with FESTIM
James Dark, Arpan Sircar, Jin Whan Bae +2
Accurate prediction of tritium behaviour in molten salt breeding blankets is essential for the design and safe operation of ARC-class fusion reactors. This work presents a fully op…
Quantifying Multidimensional Transport Effects on Permeability Inference in FLiBe Systems Using a Validation-Informed Modeling Framework
Huihua Yang, Abhishek Saraswat, Weiyue Zhou +6
Permeability of hydrogen isotopes in molten salts is commonly inferred from permeation experiments using simplified one-dimensional interpretations, which may not capture the coupl…
SHIELD: A Reference Gas-Driven Permeation Platform for Hydrogen Permeation Studies
James Dark, Colin Weaver, Remi Delaporte-Mathurin +2
A gas-driven permeation (GDP) platform, SHIELD (Salt-compatible Hydrogen barrier Investigation and EvaLuation for fusion Devices), has been developed to measure hydrogen transport…
Physics-informed tritium fuel cycle modelling workflow for fusion reactors
Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin, Ross MacDonald, James Dark +3
In this work, we present a multi-fidelity, physics-informed framework for tritium fuel cycle modelling based on the open-source PathSim/PathView platform. Three complementary model…
FESTIM v2.0: Upgraded framework for multi-species hydrogen transport and enhanced performance
James Dark, Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin, Jørgen S. Dokken +6
FESTIM is an open-source finite element framework for modelling the transport of hydrogen isotopes in materials. It provides a flexible and extensible tool for simulating diffusion…
