Codes can either be interpretative (taking some input from experiment) or predictive.
Codes can either be interpretative (taking some input from experiment) or predictive.
Recent years have seen an increased effort in the field of code benchmarking.
They can be full-tokamak (or full-stellarator), or simulate only a small portion of plasma (a flux tube, the edge, or the Scrape-Off Layer).
Recent years have seen an increased effort in the field of cross code benchmarking.
