SafeDivertor: Faithful Divertor Heat Flux Reconstruction from Macroscopic Plasma State Signals via Time-Frequency Prior Exploitation

Accurate modeling of the divertor temperature field is essential for preventing material melting and damage and for extending the service life of fusion devices. However, conventional numerical methods, such as the Finite Element Method (FEM), are computationally expensive and therefore unsuitable for real-time applications. Therefore, a fast and generalizable method is required for real-time reconstruction of the divertor temperature field and subsequent real-time control. To address the above issue, we propose a Physics-aware Neural Operator Transformer (PNOT) to characterize the spatiotemporal evolution of the divertor temperature field. It models boundary heat-flux relations as a structured graph and employs graph attention to explicitly capture spatial physical dependencies. Inspired by physics-aware attention, we further develop a physics-aware neural operator module to aggregate query points with similar physical conditions via slicing and model heat diffusion, while a gradient-constrained Sobolev regularization loss enforces consistency between function values and their derivatives. Experimental results show that these physical constraints improve prediction accuracy while preserving physical consistency.

Nuclear fusion has made significant progress in recent years and is expected to become one of the most important pathways to addressing global energy challenges. This paper focuses on observing plasma using visible-light cameras, analyzing its spatio-temporal motion cues, and predicting the two-dimensional spatial distribution of light intensity, aiming to provide a foundational basis for future scientific experiments using deep neural networks. Specifically, we propose Delta-InvFormer, a novel backbone network centered on a differential Transformer. The key insight is that by taking consecutive video frames as input, we can better capture the dynamics of the plasma. Moreover, spatial and temporal differential self-attention effectively mitigates interference from noisy signals, ensuring high-quality feature extraction. These features are then fused into a compact and informative representation, which is fed into a decoder network to predict the distribution. Based on real experimental data collected from the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) large-scale scientific facility, our results demonstrate that the proposed model not only significantly accelerates traditional methods for distribution prediction but also achieves competitive reconstruction accuracy.

Real-time reconstruction of magnetohydrodynamic equilibria is essential for plasma shaping, stability assessment and feedback control in magnetic confinement fusion. However, Grad-Shafranov equilibrium calculations remain largely device-specific and iterative, limiting their use in latency-constrained control settings. Existing neural approaches can accelerate individual equilibrium predictions, but they do not generally provide reusable models across changing plasma boundaries or tokamak geometries. Here we show that equilibrium reconstruction can be recast as a cross-device operator learning problem. We develop a domain-specific neural operator framework that maps geometry and profile parameters directly to the poloidal flux field, replacing repeated solve-on-demand computation with amortized operator inference. Using the analytically tractable Solov'ev family as a controlled Grad-Shafranov testbed, we generate equilibria across eight geometrically distinct tokamak-like configurations and benchmark five neural operator architectures under four transfer-learning strategies. Single-geometry pretraining gives poor transfer to unseen devices, whereas multi-geometry pretraining enables data-efficient adaptation. The Wavelet Neural Operator gives the strongest cross-geometry performance, reaching mean relative L2 errors below 4% with 100 labelled target equilibria and below 2% with full fine-tuning. The predicted magnetic fields satisfy the divergence-free constraint to numerical precision, and four architectures achieve millisecond or sub-millisecond inference. These results identify neural operator pretraining as a route towards reusable, real-time equilibrium inference across fusion device configurations.
