The next step in systems modelling: The integration of a simple 1D transport and equilibrium solver

摘要

Introduction Systems codes are used in the conceptual phases of fusion reactor design. They employ a multitude of simplified models to simulate an entire power plant and ensure that designs are self-consistent, viable and optimised with respect to a given figure of merit. Their strength is the fast determination of an overall, consistent design. This cannot replace a detailed study, but aids decision making given complex model interactions.
