Abstract: Magnetic Fusion research generates a very broad and challenging activity in terms of modelling and simulations: first principle, ad-hoc and integrated modelling, real time simulation. The magnetic fusion simulation programme at CEA covers many aspects, in particular turbulence, MHD, RF physics as far as first principle theory is concerned. It develops and runs a performant interpretative and predictive simulator, and addresses issues related to real time and feedback algorithms.
The CEA simulation programme participates actively into the European task force on Integrated Tokamak Modelling, which is structured for providing in term to fusion devices the complete set of integrated tokamak simulation tools (first principle, ad-hoc models and technologies). This very long term activity is ambitious and leaves space for collaborative actions.
