Nuclear Fusion Open Source projects

I have initiated this repository to collect (and maintain?) a list of open-source projects related to (magnetic) Nuclear Fusion.

Disclaimer: At the moment, the list is "what I remembered". But I would like to accept any reasonable suggestions.

• PlasmaPy : a collection of functionality commonly needed by plasma scientists and researchers globally
• OMAS : OMAS is a Python library designed to simplify the interface of third-party codes with the ITER Integrated Modeling and Analysis Suite.
• Bluemira : Bluemira is an integrated inter-disciplinary design tool for future fusion reactors.
• Cherab : Cherab Spectroscopy Modelling Framework
• BOUT++ : BOUT++: Plasma fluid finite-difference simulation code in curvilinear coordinate systems
• ToFu Project for an open-source Python library for synthetic diagnostics and tomography for Fusion devices
• Aurora : Modern toolbox for impurity transport, neutrals and radiation modeling in magnetically-confined plasmas
• FreeGS : Equilibrium framework with freeboundary Grad-Shafranov equation solver.
• PLEQUE : Framework for easy equilibrium manipulation.
• DECS : Stellarator Optimization Package
• KSTAR-NN : KSTAR tokamak simulator
• PROCESS : PROCESS is a systems code at UKAEA that calculates in a self-consistent manner the parameters of a fusion power plant with specified performance, ensuring that its operating limits are not violated, and with the option to optimise to a given function of these parameters.
• Paramac : Create parametric 3D fusion reactor CAD models
• Fidasim : A Neutral Beam and Fast-ion Diagnostic Modeling Suite*
• PINT: PINT (Python INTegrated tokamak model) is a minimal integrated modelling suite in Python for tokamak 1D core transport.
• QuaLiKiz: QuaLiKiz is a quasilinear gyrokinetic code rapid enough to ease systematic interface with experiments.)
• HEAT : The Heat flux Engineering Analysis Toolkit (HEAT) is a suite of tools for predicting the heat flux incident upon PFCs in tokamaks, and the associated PFC state (ie temperature).
• FAROES A Python package for optimizing fusion power plants, and especially for optimizing properties like their capital cost or levelized cost of energy.
• OFT Open Flexible Unstructured Simulation Infrastructure with Open Numerics (FUSION) Toolkit (OFT)
• TORAX : TORAX is a differentiable tokamak core transport simulator aimed for fast and accurate forward modelling, pulse-design, trajectory optimization, and controller design workflows.

Tags to search:

It is not easy to find fusion-related material since most keywords in the field have multiple meanings: plasma, fusion, nuclear, etc. Moreover, most projects do not use tags at all.

• tomamak
• tokamaks
• nuclear-fusion
• plasma: Beware of bloody KDE 😄.
• fusion
