On October 2, a group from the Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (CASE) department at the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC) visited the ITER Organisation<\/strong> in Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, France. The group included CASE director J. M. Cela; Fusion group members M. Mantsinen, D. Gallart and F. Cipolletta; and Data Pre & Post Processing group members F. Cucchietti and T. Andrade.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The meeting focused on research topics of mutual interest<\/strong>, particularly the development of digital twins within the BSC CASE department and the expertise of the Data Pre- and Post-Processing group in data handling. The Fusion group discussed their experience with numerical simulations and data analysis of fusion experiments, and ITER presented their ongoing objectives. The participants also discussed the possibility of extending the existing collaboration agreement between the BSC and ITER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Following the meeting, the BSC team had the opportunity to visit the ITER construction site.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seeing the rapid progress in assembling the Tokamak<\/strong> was exciting. Three toroidal components are currently being fitted with thermal shields in preparation for installation in the pit. The central solenoid is being assembled and is making good progress, while two additional toroidal components have already been placed in the pit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
