Development Roadmap

A subset of planned upgrades includes:

  • Multi-ion transport, with a focus on heavy impurities and neoclassical transport

  • IMAS coupling

  • Momentum transport

  • Neoclassical tearing modes (modified Rutherford equation)

  • Coupling to wider range of ML-surrogates for physics models

Contributions in line with the roadmap are welcome. In particular, TORAX is envisaged as a natural framework for coupling of various ML-surrogates of physics models. These could include surrogates for turbulent transport, neoclassical transport, heat and particle sources, line radiation, pedestal physics, and core-edge integration, MHD, among others.

See Contributing to TORAX and Contribution tips for more information.
