The paper presents a probabilistic neural surrogate for scrape‑off‑layer (SOL) plasma simulations in tokamaks. By mapping the curvilinear SOLPS‑ITER mesh to three fixed‑size image tensors, the authors preserve geometric adjacency and enable a convolutional network to process the mesh without loss of information. A conditional flow‑matching model is trained on this representation, producing efficient, scalable predictions that capture multiple plausible outcomes—such as distinct hot and cold modes—near the divertor detachment transition and correctly recover known bifurcations in synthetic data.
Fast surrogates for tokamak boundary-plasma simulation are typically deterministic regressors mapping a global operating point to a flattened vector of cell values. Near the divertor detachment transi...

arXiv:2608. 16519v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatially resolved EEDFs/IEDFs provide essential kinetic information about low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) and play a central role in determining transport, chemical reaction rates, and plasma surface interactions.
arXiv:2511. 22486v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The requirement for large-scale global simulations of plasma is an ongoing challenge in both space and laboratory plasma physics.
Spatially resolved EEDFs/IEDFs provide essential kinetic information about low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) and play a central role in determining transport, chemical reaction rates, and plasma surface interactions. While kinetic simulations directly resolve these distributions, experimental measurements remain challenging and are often invasive, spatially limited, or require assumptions regarding the distribution shape such as a Maxwellian.
GyroSwin is a scalable 5‑dimensional neural surrogate that models nonlinear gyrokinetic plasma turbulence, a key challenge for nuclear fusion research. It extends Vision Transformers to 5D, incorporates cross‑attention and latent 3D↔5D interactions, and uses channelwise mode separation inspired by nonlinear physics. The model outperforms traditional reduced numerics in heat‑flux prediction, captures turbulent energy cascades, and cuts the computational cost of full gyrokinetic simulations by three orders of magnitude while remaining physically verifiable.
