Annual in-person meeting TSVV-H

15 Jun 2026, 13:00 → 19 Jun 2026, 13:00 Europe/London

K1 and C7 buildings (Culham Campus, zoom)

Michele Marin (EPFL)

The annual in-person meeting of TSVV-H is a forum to discuss, report progress and plan future work. The 2026 edition will focus on the training of new users, code benchmark and pedestal modelling. Time for working in small groups will be allocated alongside the presentations

Monday 15 June

Introduction: Opening remarks and logistics

Convener: Michele Marin (EPFL)

Introduction: Roundtable

Introduction: Florian Koechl: Recent ITER scenario modelling activities and model setup

14:40 Coffee break

Introduction: Daan van Vugt: Overview of new developments in IMAS and Muscle3 and beyond

HFPS Tutorial

HFPS Tutorial: Setup of first simulations

Tuesday 16 June

Large-scale validation: Viacheslav Bochkarev: Large scale validation of TCV discharges

Efforts on multiple machines are on going to enable large scale simulation with HFPS. These efforts need to be coordinated to avoid developing multiple sets of tools with the same aim, and to help sharing ideas on the machine specific work.

Large-scale validation: Enzo Vergnaud: Large scale HFPS simulations with python jetto-tools wrappers

Efforts on multiple machines are on going to enable large scale simulation with HFPS. These efforts need to be coordinated to avoid developing multiple sets of tools with the same aim, and to help sharing ideas on the machine specific work.

12:00 Lunch

Benchmarks: Stefano Gabriellini: Status of the JET Benchmark

Benchmarks: Guilermo Suarez: Update on HFPS ASDEX Upgrade validation activity

Benchmarks: Dmytro Yadykin: Status of the ASDEX benchmark with ETS

14:30 Coffee break and group picture

Benchmarks: Theo Fonghetti: Electron-heated AUG and WEST L-mode plasmas validation

Working groups: Targeted work

Time to work singularly and in small groups on TSVV-H related topics. Work that requires collaboration with participants will be prioritized. HFPS trainees have time to setup their simulations and get feedback from experienced users.
