Abstract
A model is presented for the calculation of the characteristic scale lengths from transport considerations in the edge pedestal region of high confinement (H-mode) plasmas. The model is based on the requirements of heat and particle removal through the edge. Atomic physics effects on edge density and temperature gradient scale lengths are taken into account. An empirical fit for the width of the edge pedestal transport barrier is employed. Model problem calculations indicate that the model predicts the magnitudes and some trends of characteristic gradient scale lengths observed in current experiments.
