FUSE meeting notes: Mar 28 2023

[orso82]

Orso:

• Comparison of STEP and FUSE sims
• Digest of FUSE simulations to PDF
• Optimization

Jackson

• Trying to put together block diagram
• Worked with Tim, Jerome, David, Brian to validate
• Some confusion on quantities
• Better documentation
• Thinking of developing an optimizer for whole BOP
  • Probably two optimization for Brayton and Rankine is different
  • Optimize temperature and flow rates
  • Optimize number of components to come later

Tyler

• Started coding limits and stability
• Thinking how to organize everything

Adriana

• Updated costing
• Can change between Sheffield and ARIES with a switch
• Added plotting
• Working on inflation adjustment and able to project to the future

Amani

• Winding pack
  • Given thoughts about how to improve model
  • Learned how to run model in FUSE
  • Looked at how other systems code are doing it
  • Discussed with Dave
  • Have some questions about TF
  • Dave: add capability to add more layers
• Sat down with Jim and gone through GATM parameters that are really needed from FUSE

Nan

• Reviewed current drive efficiencies and implemented them in OMFIT and FUSE
• Dave: Stambaugh paper has issues

Kevin

• NeutronTransport.jl getting close to be ready

Tom

• Fixed issue with TGLF-NN wiggle by building a larger NN
• Porting training to SAGA to scale things up
• Natural normalization had some bugs
• Need help adding TGLF-NN to TGYRO

Discussion

• Validation of BOP
  • Pumping requirements
  • Overall efficiency
  • Jackson to replicate in FUSE model the results of higher fidelity model
• Need to take a look at FUSE currents after WholeFacility actor
