FUSE meeting nots: Jun 11 2024

[orso82]

Orso

• plan to open up all of FUSE now, before FIRE proposals due, w/ press release
• merged WPED working with Tim
• faster/better boundaries with x-points
• fluxmatcher fix when sources are exactly zero
• Need to review RABBIT.jl
• Need to review new boundary model by

Tim

• Working on positive/negative NT presentation

NT

• Galina first
  • take one case and show FUSE results for PT vs NT
• Orso Sherwood slides
  • optimizations w/ PT and NT
  • Beta_n as proxy for risk, not OK for comparing PT and NT
• Adriana
  • Thoughts about including risk plasma/engineering risks
• Tim
  • WPED a edge model for NT
• Work to be done
  • Improved NNs just for NT
  • Run optimizations with WPED & compare with PT
  • Add some plasma/engineering risk metric to optimization
  • NT engineering questions: TF shape; OH configuration, ...

Brendan

• FuseUtils.jl to get rid of package
• Removes all pins of packages, so FUSE is now using all latest packages of everything!
• FRESCO free boundary equilibrium solver
• Talked to Min-Gu

Jackson

• Issues with modelingtoolkit have been resolved upstream
• Costing of BOP
  • CSV file with "cost calibration points"
  • cost model of each component based on process engineering textbook

Nan

• Flux matching is good in TGYRO for carbon validation database using the standard method
  • Demonstrated that evolving impurities in TGYRO is equivalent to Aurora for fully ionizes species (carbon)
• Discussed with Tomas for Ne or Ar data
  • May come through with some upcoming DIII-D experiments

NT discussion

• Add MANTA case
• PF case
• positive: divertor heat flux, core-edge problem, LH transition
• radiated power does not count towards LH threshold (2X LH threshold is a requirement)
• q95, greenwald can be higher, LH transition we don't care
