Abstract

An integrated transport analysis suite, TASK3D-a, has been developed with the emphasis on establishing close-link with the LHD experiment database. The suite makes possible energy transport analyses for huge cases, from which the systematic understandings can be elucidated. A statistical approach for implementing large-scale simulation results into the integrated modelling has been tested. The importance of strengthening trilateral links among experiments, large-scale simulations, and integrated numerical modelling tools such as TASK3D, is crucial for promoting systematic understandings, performing validations, and then increasing the predictive capabilities.
