FACIT -- Generalize ICRH effects #87
Comments
Of interest for @DanielFajardoJ |
This would be a good improvement for ICRH applications, thanks @cjperks7 |
More accurate formulas for poloidal asymmetry by ICRH are here: |
Oops, seems like I forgot to do this... ICRF folks are (finally) starting to make a database of Tperp/Tpar for SPARC and the broadband SXR diagnostic is coming up on Final Design Review, so it would be of interest soon. Thanks for the reference and the reminder @odstrcilt ! |
@odstrcilt I was looking through this new paper and see you were second author. I'm curious what in your opinion makes it more accurate v. say Matt Reinke's C-Mod work? I particularly noticed this paper seems to be all theory, so have you tried anything comparison with experiment, i.e. DIII-D? Maybe I could get Matt's C-Mod shots if you want to look at that to quantify improvement. |
It is, in principle, the same idea, the similar formula, just more carefully derived with less approximations. Most important is the eq. 15 which provides you the poloidal distribution of the high-Z impurity it depends on a Nm/NmLFS - which is the poloidal profile of density of fast ions. I have compared it with experiment on DIII-D. You can either use fast ion profile from NUBEAM for NBI or calculate fast ion profile from toric. Here is an example how I did it for NEO: The asymmetry by beam ions is not included. If I'm lucky, I can find the scripts somewhere... |
…arge and to include many ICRF-heated species
I can do this one too
Issue
The formula used in FACIT for the ICRH effects on poloidal asymmetry assumes just D(H) minority heating. Future fusion devices (SPARC) will use other schemes such as D(He3), D/T(He3).
Plan of action
In the original derivation by M. Reinke, they obtained a general expression and then specified it to D(H) which was grabbed for use it FACIT. Pretty straight forward to change that to account for other schemes.
