VAFT connects an IMAS-compatible data platform, the OMAS Python interface, VEST experimental data, and external equilibrium and stability codes. Use the original sources below for definitions and scientific context; this site explains how VAFT applies them.
VAFT platform paper
H.-S. Yun, S. Lee et al., “Developing an IMAS-compatible platform for the university-scale tokamak VEST and its application to operating characteristics analysis,” Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion 67 115021 (2025), doi:10.1088/1361-6587/ae1b6a.
The documentation follows the paper’s platform architecture—Snakemake workflows, IMAS/HSDS storage, the VAFT interface, and the EFIT → CHEASE → DCON/RDCON/GPEC analysis chain—but does not copy figures from the publication.
