Impact of model uncertainty on SPARC operating scenario predictions with empirical modeling

A. Saltzman, P. Rodriguez-Fernandez, T. Body, A. Ho, N.T. Howard2026年2月Nuclear FusionIF 3出版社

Understanding and accounting for uncertainty is one aspect of ensuring next-step tokamaks such as SPARC will robustly achieve their goals. While traditional Plasma OPerating CONtour (POPCON) analyses guide design, they often overlook the significant impact of uncertainties in scaling laws, plasma profiles, and impurity concentrations on performance predictions. This work confronts these challenges by introducing statistical POPCONs, which leverage Monte Carlo analysis to quantify the sensitivity of SPARC’s operating points (Creely et al 2020 J. Plasma Phys.86 5) to these crucial variables. For profiles, a physically motivated gradient-based functional form is introduced. We further develop a multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization workflow that effectively identifies operating points maximizing the probability of meeting performance goals, which gives a significant speed-up over brute force search methods. Our findings reveal that accounting for these uncertainties leads to an optimal operating point different from deterministic predictions, which balances H-mode access, confinement, impurity dilution, and auxiliary power.

この論文は、SPARCトカマクの予測におけるモデルの不確実性の影響を扱っています。従来のPOPCON解析では、スケーリング則、プラズマプロファイル、不純物濃度の不確実性を見落としていました。著者らは、モンテカルロ法を用いた統計的POPCONと、マルチフィデリティベイズ最適化ワークフローを開発し、性能目標を達成する確率を最大化する運転点を効率的に特定します。不確実性を考慮すると、Hモードアクセス、閉じ込め、不純物希釈、補助加熱のバランスが取れた異なる最適運転点が得られることが明らかになりました。
