TCV-X21: a FAIR dataset of TCV experimental results for validating edge/divertor turbulence models

A FAIR dataset of TCV experimental results for validating edge/divertor turbulence models.

This repository is designed to let you perform the analysis presented in Oliveira and Body et. al., Nuclear Fusion, 2022, both using the data given in the paper, and with a turbulence simulation of your own. We hope that, by providing the analysis, the TCV-X21 case can be used as a standard validation and bench-marking case for turbulence simulations of the divertor in fusion experiments. The repository allows you to scrutinise and suggest improvements to the analysis (there's always room for improvement), to directly interact with and explore the data in greater depth than is possible in a paper, and — we hope — use this case to test a simulation of your own.

This Zenodo repository preserves the exact version (Version 1.0.0) of the repository used to publish the paper. We will also use Zenodo to release citable versions of the repository containing additional data.

For getting started with the project, we suggest to start with the GitHub repository (https://github.com/SPCData/TCV-X21) and use issues to ask about anything that is not clear. If you have new experimental data or simulations of the scenario, make a merge request in GitHub and we can make a new release including your data.
