Finalizing the reports and plans.
Milestones and Deliverables
Q2 (level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone:
Identify EP component elements
Deliverables: Documentation of physics models and available
codes/models for
the component
1. Compile the information about existing numerical software/models
2. Outline each subcomponent model and its applicability
2a. Models should include quasilinear diffusion for fast ion transport
and
initial value code being developed now
3. Compress this information for the community experts outreach on the
component sub-elements
Q3 (level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone: Analyze EP component
models readiness analysis
Deliverables: Analysis present capabilities and their implementation
for each subcomponent
1. For each subcomponent assess the completeness of the implemented
model
2. Set requirements for physics readiness on the basis of user's
input/documentations
3. Identify minimal physics model requirements for the framework
Q4 (level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone: Gap analysis for EP
components
Deliverables: Analysis and documentation of the component
physics models gaps for
framework simulations
1. Basing on previous analysis summarize the gaps for each component
2. Analysis and documentation of the gaps and their possible remediation
3. Connections to the base theory program, scidac etc in addressing
these gaps
Q5 (level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone: Analysis of the
V&V requirements for the component
Deliverables: Verification and validation plans for each components
1. Develop a set of requirements and criteria for V&V plans for
each (sub)components
of EP part
2. Requirements for the validation methods, synthetic diagnostic,
plasma measurements
3. V&V plans for integrated into the framework components
Q6 (level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone: Subcomponents
integration plan
Deliverables: Outline and the draft of the integration plan
1. Summarizing the findings from the planning process
2. Work with other FSP teams to coordinate the plan
3. Draft Execution plan.
Q7 (level of efforts: 0.2 FTE)
Milestone: Finalize the FSP
Planning report
Deliverables:
1. Finalized version of the FSP report
2. Finalized execution plan and all other required documents.
