RAPTOR

 

 

RAPTOR (RApid Plasma Transport Simulator) is a 1D tokamak transport code specially designed for rapid execution compatible with needs for real-time execution or for use in nonlinear optimization schemes.

                                                                   

RAPTOR was first developed within F. Felici's EPFL PhD thesis work: https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/168656

RAPTOR source codes is now split in two git repositories, the main code RAPTOR, to be licensed with open source license soon, and the various projects (simulations or RT related) in the RAPTOR-projects repository.

 

You can use the RAPTOR code at your wish, but we first ask you to fill in the following agreement:

Code_transfer_RAPTOR_generic_with_partners_CLA.pdf and send it to

 

You can also use the RAPTOR-projects part, by signing the Code_transfer_RAPTOR-projects.pdf agreement.

 

We ask a CLA agreement, so that we give you full access to the gitlab interface for interacting with issues, feature requests and proposing modifications to the codes. The two repositories are grouped in https://gitlab.epfl.ch/spc/raptor

 

Once you have access to the repositories, you can connect to the slack group for rapid interaction: https://join.slack.com/t/raptor-vmf9427/shared_invite/zt-262b1nv81-4lyRUKEcC1K3_9ZeqErjjw
