Magnetic Confinement Fusion: integrated modeling techniques
This seminar is intended to lead listeners from the concept of magnetic confinement fusion to how plasma energy flows and is transported in the highest temperature zone within a tokamak fusion reactor, its core. To do this, the Magnetic Fusion Experiments Integrated Modelling group led by Pablo Rodriguez Fernandez, uses the combination of numerical computation algorithms together with machine learning techniques to accelerate predictions of plasma behavior in that area of the...
