Welcome to 3DST LAB!
The 3D Stellarator and Tokamak (3DST) Laboratory aims to develop optimized solutions for magnetically confined fusion systems. To this end, we advance and implement cutting-edge theories and multi-scale computational tools, with the overarching goal of establishing a validated, fully integrated predictive modeling framework.
Our newly developed integrated framework incorporates full three-dimensional geometric constraints and boundary conditions, enabling system-level analysis and prediction across a wide range of physical scales—from large, fast magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities to slow, small-scale kinetic transport and turbulence phenomena. For example, we are currently embedding kinetic effects into 3D plasma equilibrium models and coupling them with local drift-MHD descriptions. This unified approach allows for simultaneous prediction of key instabilities—such as interchange, locking, tearing, peeling, and ballooning modes—together with their associated transport mechanisms in toroidal magnetic confinement systems.
We also collaborate closely with leading domestic and international researchers to rigorously validate our predictions and to implement adaptive control strategies for instabilities and transport. By leveraging these predictive and control capabilities, our laboratory is dedicated to optimizing magnetic confinement fusion systems and operational scenarios, ultimately delivering innovative integrated solutions that enhance both the performance and the reliability of future fusion reactors.
