Title 227: Inter-machine comparisons for heat flux scaling
Name:Charles Lasnier () Affiliation:Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Research Area:Thermal Transport in the Plasma Boundary Presentation time: Requested
Co-Author(s): Maingi, et al
Description: Use a coordinated approach to compare heat flux scaling between machines. Form the basis for a scaling which explains results on several machines.
Experimental Approach/Plan:
Background: Many previous single machine scalings have been developed, as well as attempts to fit a multi-machine database. Different attempts gave different results, and there was no attempt to coordinate discharges between several machines.
Resource Requirements: DIII-D and other machines. Rajesh Maingi at NSTX is interested. It would also be good to work with CMOD, JET, ASDEX, JT60-U, EAST, and physicists from TEXTOR.
Diagnostic Requirements: SOL and divertor diagnostics, boundary fluctuation diagnostics. Not all machines have the same diagnostics-we need to work around this.
Analysis Requirements: SOL and divertor diagnostics, boundary fluctuation diagnostics, intermachine comparisons
Other Requirements: --
