Joint Working Session of EUROfusion WP JET1 / WP MST1 / WP PFC
Participants of the Joint Working Session in 2015
Tervaniemi, Finland, 3-6 February 2015
Programme
Plasma boundary properties, material erosion&migration, fuel retention and formation of mixed materials in a tokamak device are closely linked. The description of the underlying processes within a self-consistent model is the main subject of current code development and validation. Code validation and interpretation of experiments by modelling are part of the programme of EUROfusion Work Packages JET1, JET2, MST1 and PFC. The working session programme aims at reviewing development status and validation activities of the existing codes with particular emphasis on scenarios encountered in devices with all-metal wall configuration. Future benchmarking experiments and code development e.g. regarding implementation of missing physics and extension of the computational domain will be discussed with particular emphasis on experiment coordination between modelling groups and tokamak teams. In this sense the workshop should be regarded as a platform to exchange ideas across boundaries of related topics (i.e. across WPs).
Venue
Tervaniemi, built in 1886, was originally
the summer place for the owner of Tervakoski paper factory. Located by a lake,
it nowadays provides an inspiring atmosphere and modern facilities for
meetings. In the evenings you can tune up your appetite with Finnish specialties
- sauna and ice-water swimming - and enjoy a dinner in the old-style dining
room.
It should be noted that the traditional post sauna ice-water dip is considered a quasi-mandatory activity since the very first meeting. You have been warned :-)
