OMFIT Tokamak Profile Data Fitting and Physics Analysis
Abstract
One Modeling Framework for Integrated Tasks (OMFIT) has been used to develop a consistent tool for interfacing with, mapping, visualizing, and fitting tokamak profile measurements. OMFIT is used to integrate the many diverse diagnostics on multiple tokamak devices into a regular data structure, consistently applying spatial and temporal treatments to each channel of data. Tokamak data is fundamentally time dependent and is treated so from the start, with front-loaded and logic-based manipulations such as filtering based on the identification of Edge Localized Modes that commonly scatter data. Fitting is general in its approach, and tailorable in its application in order to address physics constraints and handle the multiple spatial and temporal scales involved. Although community standard 1D fitting is supported, including scale length fitting and fitting polynomial-exponential blends to capture the H-mode pedestal, OMFITprofiles includes 2D fitting using bivariate splines or radial basis functions. These 2D fits produce regular evolutions in time, removing jitter that has historically been smoothed ad-hoc in transport applications. Profiles interface directly with a wide variety of models within the OMFIT framework, providing the inputs for TRANSP, kinetic-EFIT 2D equilibrium and GPEC 3D equilibrium calculations.
