Abstract
D0FUS is a new system code written in Python and designed to enable fast, extensive, and easily interpretable parameter scans. Inspired by the approach of Freidberg et al. (2015), D0FUS computes the main plasma stability indicators as well as the associated radial build. The code’s architecture and capabilities are reviewed, and its governing equations are presented. First results show possible viable designs at large aspect ratio, explore possible operations at high magnetic field and highlight the critical role of the energy confinement time scaling laws.
期刊介绍:
The journal accepts papers about experiments (both plasma and technology), theory, models, methods, and designs in areas relating to technology, engineering, and applied science aspects of magnetic and inertial fusion energy. Specific areas of interest include: MFE and IFE design studies for experiments and reactors; fusion nuclear technologies and materials, including blankets and shields; analysis of reactor plasmas; plasma heating, fuelling, and vacuum systems; drivers, targets, and special technologies for IFE, controls and diagnostics; fuel cycle analysis and tritium reprocessing and handling; operations and remote maintenance of reactors; safety, decommissioning, and waste management; economic and environmental analysis of components and systems.
