Calculation of toroidal rotation profiles in DIII-D using neoclassical viscosity (DoE Grant ER54538)

2005-10 , Stacey, Weston M. , Johnson, R. W. , Mandrekas, John

Momentum and particle balance and neoclassical viscosity were applied to calculate the radial profile of toroidal rotation in several DIII-D [J. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion, 42, 614 (2002)] discharges in a variety of energy confinement regimes (Low-mode, Low-mode with Internal Transport Barrier, Highmode, and High-mode with Quiescent Double Barrier). Calculated toroidal rotation velocities were found to over-predict measured values most in the center—by factors of 1.5 to 3--with the over-prediction generally decreasing with increasing radius, for the L, H and ITB mode shots, but the single impurity species approximation could not properly model the multiple Ni and Cu charge states in the QDB shots.

Improvements in the 2D TEP Neutral Particle Transport Calculation in Edge Plasmas (DoE Grant ER54538)

2005-10 , Zhang, Dingkang , Mandrekas, John , Stacey, Weston M.

Extensions of the 2D Transmission and Escape Probability neutral particle transport method in treating the spatial non-uniformity of collision sources and neutral energy effects are presented. These extensions have been tested by benchmarks against Monte Carlo calculations for specially designed models and for realistic DIII-D discharges. The comparisons indicate these extensions improve accuracy of the TEP method.
