Nuclear fusion is a vast field, with numerous physics phenomena, diverse experimental setups, complex calculations, and simulations conducted by various research teams. Given that data is generated over a variety of geometries and physical parameters, structured frameworks and interfaces are necessary to ensure seamless interoperability between teams and their respective data structures.
ITER is developing a standard for fusion data, the Integrated Modelling and Analysis Suite (IMAS). We have developed a pythonic, flexible interface for data stored with the IMAS Access Layer. We are now working on enabling access with the modern data processing ecosystem, using tooling such as xarray, netCDF and intake.
Let's discuss digital twins, integrated modelling and control systems!
