– Develop 5-6 year initiative the goal of which is develop an improved capacity for Integrated Simulation and Optimization of Fusion Systems
• What is the current status of integrated computational modeling and simulation?
• What should be the vision for integrated simulation of toroidal confinement fusion systems?
• What new theory and applied mathematics are required for simulation and optimization of fusion systems?
• What computer science is required for simulation and optimization of fusion systems?
• What are the computational infrastructure needs for integrated simulation of fusion systems?
• How should integrated simulation codes be validated, and how can they best be used to enable new scientific insights?
• FESAC appointed committee to develop a roadmap
• FESAC appointed committee to develop a roadmap
– Fusion Simulation Project (FSP) envisioned as a 15 year, $20M/year
multi-institutional project
• Develop a comprehensive simulation capability for magnetic fusion experiments with a focus on ITER
– Recommended an approach through Focused Integration Initiatives
• OFES formed an FSP Steering Committee in 2003
– Develop project vision, governance concept, and roadmap for the FSP
– Recommended that the FSP consist of three elements:
