AI for advancing fusion energy through enhancing simulation
0Fusion energy is making great strides towards realizing its potential as a clean energy source. For decades fusion scientists and engineers have relied not only on experiment and theory but simulation to design, operate, and understand fusion devices. Today a range of simulations are applied to the fusion field, from those run in control scenarios all the way to large-scale massively parallel turbulence codes running on exascale supercomputers. AI/ML offers the promise of enhancing and accelerating these codes. Here we show research into using AI to accelerate physics kernels of larger codebases, and the care needed to ensure these PDE (Partial Differential Equations) solver surrogates conserve physical conservation laws. We also show how AI can aid in comparing experiment to simulation, using simulation-based inference techniques powered by neural networks. \n\nSpeakers:\nMichael Churchill\nPrinceton Plasma Physics Laboratory\n\nModerators:\nDiakhère Gueye\nInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)\n\nIn Partnership with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) @IAEAvideo \n\n#AIforEnergy #AIforGoodWebinars\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/AIforGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nWe have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.\nMore than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\nAI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
