This PhD aims to perform theory and numerical modelling and experimental comparisons of the behaviour of magnetically confined fusion reactors and experiments. Fusion reactors are a candidate technology for large scale power production,and would play a similar role in the power grid to fission reactors, and are attractive because of their power density, fuel availability and the lack of long-lived radioactive waste. Energy production science and engineering is part of EPSRC remit; this project is in collaboration with UK Atomic Energy Agency, specifically CCFE Culham and the STEP project. The specific research target is understanding how large-scale electromagnetic waves transport particles and energy in spherical tokamak devices (such as MAST-U and STEP).

该博士学位旨在对磁约束聚变反应堆和实验的行为进行理论和数值建模以及实验比较。聚变反应堆是大规模发电的候选技术，在电网中扮演着与裂变反应堆类似的角色，并且由于其功率密度，燃料可用性和缺乏长寿命放射性废物而具有吸引力。能源生产科学和工程是EPSRC职权范围的一部分;该项目与英国原子能机构合作，特别是CCFE卡勒姆和STEP项目。具体研究目标是了解大尺度电磁波如何在球形托卡马克装置（如MAST-U和STEP）中传输粒子和能量。
