Winding-Pack Quench Simulation of Stellarator Coils: Hydraulic Field-Network Coupling and Transverse Heat Conduction in OPENSC$^2$
Quench propagation in cable-in-conduit conductors is thermo-hydraulically driven, yet existing 1D models treat a conductor as one straight adiabatic cable with prescribed pressure and mass-flow…A trust layer for fast pedestal-stability surrogates: calibrated error bars, out-of-distribution alarms and few-shot recalibration
Machine-learning surrogates of linear peeling-ballooning stability now run in milliseconds, but they are mostly deployed as point estimators: they do not say how wrong they may be, or when a query…Field-aligned measurement removes the anisotropy barrier of sample-based quantum subspace solvers for magnetized-plasma heat conduction
Sample-based quantum subspace methods construct a small subspace from measured basis states and solve the target problem classically within it.Eddies that ride the flow: a model of turbulence with Richardson dispersion and anomalous dissipation
We construct a divergence-free velocity field $\mathbf{u}(\mathbf{x},t)$ on $\mathbb{T}^{n}$ that is a genuine function of position and carries both defining properties of turbulent transport…The shear Alfvén continuum of optimized stellarators
The shear Alfvén continuum has been studied extensively in tokamaks, but its gap structure in modern optimized stellarators has received less attention, despite its importance for energetic-particle…Interstellar and intergalactic medium in the ultraviolet band
This article presents an overview of key scientific challenges in the astrophysics and astrochemistry of the interstellar and intergalactic media.Hydrogen Electron Cyclotron Resonance Dissociator Demonstrator for the Project 8 Experiment
Project 8, a neutrino mass experiment, employs the novel frequency technique of cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES) to perform a model independent measurement of neutrino mass via…Counterexample-driven autonomous research with application to excess radiated energy in a Z-pinch
Recent breakthroughs in artificial-intelligence-assisted mathematics show that open-ended machine search can outperform human mathematicians, yet transferring this paradigm to physics requires…Learned Surrogates of Three-Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, the flow of astrophysical and fusion plasmas, is costly to simulate.As a matter of reconstruction -- varying the magnetic Prandtl number in implicit large eddy simulations
The magnetic Prandtl number ($\mathrm{Pm}$), the ratio of viscosity to magnetic diffusivity, spans many orders of magnitude in astrophysical plasmas.AMPERe: an exactly divergence-free quadrature-by-expansion evaluator for near-surface Biot--Savart and virtual-casing fields in fusion geometries
Accurate magnetic-field evaluation on and near current-carrying surfaces is a recurring computational bottleneck in magnetic-confinement fusion.NEOPIC: A Neural Operator Framework for Particle-based Kinetic Plasma Simulations
We introduce NEOPIC, a framework for learning the field operator in particle-based methods applied to kinetic plasma simulations.FLUCS: a modular GPU-native framework for fluid and plasma turbulence
We present FLUCS, an open-source framework for solving systems of partial differential equations efficiently on graphics processing units (GPUs), targeting models of fluid and plasma turbulence.Equipartition between Alfvénic turbulence and energetic ions as the origin of the -5 common spectrum in the heliosphere
Suprathermal ion tails throughout the heliosphere follow a ``common spectrum,'' $f(v)\propto v^{-5}$.Generative modeling for fusion: a large-scale benchmark of stellarator fast-ion simulations
Stellarators offer a promising magnetic confinement approach for achieving controlled nuclear fusion.Inverse modelling of a laser-plasma accelerator
The electron beams of a laser-plasma accelerator depend non-linearly on the laser and gas settings.Tokamak-SI: Interpreting Tokamak Discharges with Labeled Catalogs
Finding which phenomena occur in a tokamak discharge, and when, is often a manual task.Reinforcement Learning Controllers for Fusion Scenario Development
Scenario development, the design of the waveforms that take a tokamak discharge from breakdown to flat-top, is still an iterative, labour-intensive process.Machine-learned spectral PDE solvers for fluids and plasmas
Sparse regression methods for discovering governing partial differential equations (PDEs) from data are sensitive to observation noise and are not constrained to reproduce the data under forward…Reconstruction of Unobserved Core Electron Density in Tokamak Plasmas with a Neural Operator Transport Surrogate and Uncertainty Quantification
Real-time control of tokamak plasmas requires the electron density profile.
