- Multiscale simulation involving slow transport and fast turbulent timescales is one amongstthree key computational challenges for Magnetic Confinement Plasmas, as identified in thePRACE report “The Scientific Case for HPC in Europe 2012-2020”. Whereas in global gy-rokinetic simulation the main challenge is parallelization efficiency (global gyrokinetic codesscaling to a huge amount of cores), the difficulty of the mulstiscale approach rely more on easeand performance of coupling single scale models together. This coupling requires generic meth-ods which have to be efficient and portable, especially when one (or more) single scale model isexecuted remotely as it may require specific hardware, bigger HPC systems or local databasesaccess.The MAPPER project is developing a software infrastructure dedicated to the design and theexecution of such distributed multiscale applications. It relies on a coupling library (MUSCLE)and few other to control the workflow execution and perform data communication betweenthe different single scale components (“kernels”). Communication is done in a transparent waywhether the kernels run locally or on a remote HPC system.We have implemented such application by using the MAPPER infrastructure and stand alonecodes developed within the EFDA Integrated Tokamak Modelling (ITM): 1-D transport equa-tions solver, 2-D geometry given by an equilibrium code, and transport coefficients given by a3-D fluxtube code. Due to the non-intrusive approach of the coupling library and to ITM efforton generic data structures, implementation of kernels is straightforward and the whole appli-cation is modular. This contribution presents the implementation, performance and preliminaryresults obtained with such multiscale method applied on present-day Tokamak configurations.

- Predicting the impact of heating and current drive (H&CD) sources is essential to evaluate the performance of ITER plasmas and to subsequently optimise the scenarios for the four stages of the ITER research plan. This should be done in the context of global transport calculations of complete plasma discharges. For this purpose, a dedicated workflow has been developed in the ITER integrated modelling and analysis suite as a modular component to be used together with transport solvers to quantify the dynamics of H&CD sources for the different phases of a plasma discharge, including possible synergetic effects between the heating sources. This paper presents the results of the combined modelling of H&CD sources for the ITER DT baseline 15 MA/5.3 T scenario including the synergy between neutral beam injection (NBI) of deuterium, fusion-born alpha particles and ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) at the fundamental frequency of deuterium, showing modest synergetic effects. The results of the combined H&CD sources for an ITER 7.5 MA/2.65 T helium plasma of the second pre-fusion power operation phase (PFPO-2) are also shown, exhibiting more significant synergetic effects between the fundamental ICRH minority hydrogen heating and NBI hydrogen beams. Finally, a study of electron cyclotron heating absorption for an ITER helium PFPO scenario at 7.5 MA/2.65 T is also presented with a discussion on the edge parasitic absorption that arises under specific conditions.

- © 2018, © 2018 The Authors. Published with license by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Integrated modeling (IM) of present experiments and future tokamak reactors requires the provision of computational resources and numerical tools capable of simulating multiscale spatial phenomena as well as fast transient events and relatively slow plasma evolution within a reasonably short computational time. Recent progress in the implementation of the new computational resources for fusion applications in Europe based on modern supercomputer technologies (supercomputer MARCONI-FUSION), in the optimization and speedup of the EU fusion-related first-principle codes, and in the development of a basis for physics codes/modules integration into a centrally maintained suite of IM tools achieved within the EUROfusion Consortium is presented. Physics phenomena that can now be reasonably modelled in various areas (core turbulence and magnetic reconnection, edge and scrape-off layer physics, radio-frequency heating and current drive, magnetohydrodynamic model, reflectometry simulations) following successful code optimizations and parallelization are briefly described. Development activities in support to IM are summarized. They include support to (1) the local deployment of the IM infrastructure and access to experimental data at various host sites, (2) the management of releases for sophisticated IM workflows involving a large number of components, and (3) the performance optimization of complex IM workflows.
