Towards fast and accurate predictions of radio frequency power deposition and current profile via data-driven modelling: applications to lower hybrid current drive

Journal Article · · Journal of Plasma Physics

Three machine learning techniques (multilayer perceptron, random forest and Gaussian process) provide fast surrogate models for lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) simulations. A single GENRAY/CQL3D simulation without radial diffusion of fast electrons requires several minutes of wall-clock time to complete, which is acceptable for many purposes, but too slow for integrated modelling and real-time control applications. The machine learning models use a database of more than 16 000 GENRAY/CQL3D simulations for training, validation and testing. Latin hypercube sampling methods ensure that the database covers the range of nine input parameters ( $$n_{e0}$$ , $$T_{e0}$$ , $$I_p$$ , $$B_t$$ , $$R_0$$ , $$n_{\|}$$ , $$Z_{{\rm eff}}$$ , $$V_{{\rm loop}}$$ and $$P_{{\rm LHCD}}$$ ) with sufficient density in all regions of parameter space. The surrogate models reduce the inference time from minutes to $$\sim$$ ms with high accuracy across the input parameter space.
