Divertor Plasma

Divertor plasmas, the region where the hot plasma in fusion reactors interacts with the divertor target, are crucial for managing heat and particle fluxes to prevent damage. Current research focuses on developing faster and more efficient simulation tools, such as neural network-based surrogate models, to better understand and control these complex plasma dynamics in real-time. These advanced computational methods aim to improve the design and operation of future fusion reactors by enabling more accurate predictions and control strategies for divertor plasma behavior. The resulting improvements in simulation speed and accuracy are vital for optimizing reactor performance and ensuring safe operation.
