TRANSP: status and plans
POSTER
Abstract
TRANSP is a time-dependent, 1.5D equilibrium and transport solver, used for modeling of tokamak plasma discharges and for experimental planning. TRANSP incorporates state of the art heating/current drive sources and turbulence transport models. Recent additions include extension of the pedestal pressure predictions based on a neural-network based on peeling-ballooning stability calculations, a model for pellet ablation, impurity transport predictions, extension of the Sauter model for bootstrap current to higher collisionality. This poster describes present uses of the code worldwide, as well as ongoing work and plans for upgrading the physics modules and the code framework, including extension of the transport to the wall and development of a fusion flight simulator.
