• Machine learning approach for identification and tracking of coherent structures in turbulent fluids and plasmas 

      Kirkeland, Leander (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-12-15)
      In a fusion reactor, coherent structures of hot and dense plasma can drift radially outwards due to the conditions of the edge plasma and can cause erosion of the outer walls. This erosion can release impurities into the plasma and harm equipment at the walls. This thesis presents two methods of tracking blobs in the boundary region of fusion experiments. The first model is a simple Long Short-Term ...
