Status of TRANSP and PTRANSP

POSTER

Abstract

This poster describes the status of TRANSP and PTRANSP code development and run production operations. Production rates continue to climb as new users and tokamaks are added; statistics will be shown, including utilization of the recently added TRANSP MPI capability. New code features include greatly expanded flexibility in specification of transport models for density, temperature, and angular momentum profile prediction in PTRANSP runs. A new replay option enables retrieval of sources from TRANSP analysis runs for PTRANSP validation. TRANSP / PTRANSP free boundary MHD modeling options have been enhanced. New RF modeling capabilities, such as the ability to model ICRF with full toroidal mode spectrum, have been added. NUBEAM upgrades include improvements to deposition atomic physics and loss orbit distribution capture. Fusion Grid post-processing of TRANSP results has been improved using extraction of SWIM-SciDAC Plasma State files from TRANSP archives. Opportunities for PTRANSP support of SciDAC and FSP efforts will be presented.
