Description
Modeling and simulation plays a central role in fusion technology development - by allowing large parameter space exploration for design optimization, focused design of experiments and instrumentation, and safety analysis. This talk will provide an overview of the Cardinal multiphysics framework which integrates OpenMC, NekRS, and MOOSE for high-fidelity simulation. Several fusion-related projects including adaptive mesh refinement of Monte Carlo tallies, tritium extraction systems, and liquid metal MHD will be described. An ongoing project to bridge fast-running neutronics analysis with materials optimization, and an open materials database through ARPA-E, will also be described.
