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…

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…
