Specifically, the aims of this project are: - to clearly and formally communicate the main simulation challenges for Fusion to industry. - to allow software vendors to demonstrate and validate their software for use in fusion contexts. - to rigorously identify where there are capability gaps or developments needed for Fusion . - to build ongoing collaborative engagement with industry regarding development efforts to fill these capability gaps. The overall outcome aims to have improved engagement with software industry, clearly defined case studies for which to evaluate emerging software developments, improved depth and breadth in capability for fusion-relevant simulation, and confidence in utilisation of this capability in current and future fusion programmes. At tender stage, the UKAEA will define the specification of the case studies, including identification and execution of any small-scale experiments required to provide reference datasets. The case study specification will include a clear definition of the objectives, all necessary data to build and run the simulation models, such as geometry, boundary conditions, etc. and measurable outputs upon which the solution can be evaluated. The project intends to engage and work with all interested parties to demonstrate the performance of their software for the identified cases and summarise results to UKAEA. This element is market engagement only to refine the best way of approaching the exercise and get a clearer understanding of the suppliers working within this discipline.
