Extension of the FMCFM framework to the neoclassical, paleoclassical, and gyrokinetic transport models

Recent improvements to the Framework for Modernization and Componentization of Fusion Modules (FMCFM) are described. The FMCFM framework provides a common interface to the transport modules and libraries such as those in the National Transport Code Collabation (NTCC) module library[1]. The FMCFM interface facilitates access to the transport models from integrated modeling codes and allows interlanguage interfaces using Babel[2]. The new interface to transport modules has been applied to the the GLF23 and MMM95 transport models. Current work of incorporating neoclassical NCLASS and Kapisn codes, a paleoclassical transport model[3] and the GYRO nonlinear tokamak microturbulence package will be presented. A new flux mapping tool that is being included to the FMCFM project in order to interface the equilibrium data generated with legacy equilibrium solvers such EFIT and TEQ is described in this report. The functionality is demonstrated in Framework Application for Core-Edge Transport Simulations (FACETS) project. [1] A. H. Kritz et al. Comp. Phys. Comm. 164,108(2004). [2] G. Kumfert et al.
