Jupyter Notebook for Analyzing and Visualizing Stellarator Properties

POSTER

Abstract

The application presented is a Jupyter notebook that allows users to analyze properties of inputted stellarator configurations. Data can be provided manually, through a .txt file, or through an existing configuration entered into the Fuse0D spreadsheet. The Python script calculates optimized helium concentration, volume averaged density, and Pheat estimates according to the model proposed in Hammett et al (2019). Using these generated values, a Q value for the stellarator configuration is maximized and the ISS-04 H confinement scaling multiplier is minimized. The user may iterate one or two parameters over a given range to visualize the effect of changing configurations in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional graph—this functionality would be displayed on a laptop at the conference. The application is designed to allow easy and accurate analysis of stellarator properties, allowing users to identify promising configurations and eliminate those with poor performance.
