Abstract
A newly developed integrated suite of codes coined as tokamak reactor integrated automated suite for simulation and computation (TRIASSIC) is reported. The suite comprises existing plasma simulation codes, including 1.5D/2D plasma transport solvers and neoclassical/anomalous transport, plasma heating/cooling, and cold neutral models. The components in TRIASSIC are fully modularized by adopting a generic data structure as its internal storage. Primary components such as the transport solver and the neutral beam or electron cyclotron wave actuator were verified to its standalone implementation. The interpretive and predictive simulations of 50 stationary plasma phases from 30 KSTAR discharges were conducted for validation, and a good agreement with experimental measurements on all simulation cases was found.
