In transition: Commercializing fusion power
Commercial fusion power is closer than ever. There are now around 30 U.S. fusion companies, several of which claim to be on track to connect to the grid as early as the 2030s.
Tokamak and laser inertial confinement approaches benefit from decades of research at facilities such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and ITER, with alternative concepts including stellarator, magnetic mirror, and Z-pinch confinement also making notable progress as private and government funding for fusion increases.

A direct simulation of the density-wave oscillation limit cycle in a boiling flow system has been carried out. An unequal velocity, unequal temperature two-fluid description of boiling flow was used. The simulation procedure is aided considerably by first performing a linear stability analysis of the system in time domain. Comparison with experimental data is reported.
