Title 226: Density, Bt, and Ip dependence of toroidal rotation effect on L-H transition power threshold
Name:Guiding Wang () Affiliation:University of California, Los Angeles
Research Area:Transport Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): J.C. DeBoo
Description: The purpose is to quantify density, Bt, and Ip dependence of toroidal rotation effect on L-H transition power threshold on DIII-D, so as to predict this rotation effect for ITER.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Perform rotation scan with combination of co- and counter-beams of the L-H power threshold at one set of plasma parameters (Bt, Ip, ne, etc) in LSN plasma (ion grad-B drift toward null which ITER will run). Scan ne, Bt and Ip one at a time and do the rotation scans to achieve the ne, Bt and Ip dependence of this rotation effect.
Background: Rotation effect on L-H transition power threshold has been found on DIII-D. To assess this effect for ITER, detailed information on the dependence of this effect on ne, Bt and Ip is needed.
Resource Requirements: all co- and counter-beams
Diagnostic Requirements: --
Analysis Requirements: --
Other Requirements: --
