Fig.6_dose

Fig. 6_dose: Left: Experimental results of a single variable density scan (full circles) compared to the predictions of the present semiempirical theory [Ref.Theory] (continuous line, shaded area represents the error, warum wird der so groß bei ganz kleinen und ganz großen Dichten ?) for B = 2.5 T, P = 0.45 MW, a = 0.176 m. The input data (open circles) are shown regardless of additional variations in B, P , a, and are therefore spread all over. The histogram accounts for their distribution over the density axis. A least squares fit of the input data would yield W

n∝ 0.39 (dashed line). Right: Single variable power scan with n = 2.4 ×

1019 m−3 , B =2.5 T, a =0.176 m. The histogram is again with respect to the input data (Warum ergeben viele open circles so wenige schwarze Punkte ?). The result is represented by the solid line with the shaded area as the error. A least squares fit of the input data would yield W P ∝0.5 and hence τE P ∝ −0.5 (dashed line) [5]. -> warum liegt der fit ganz woanders als die Daten ?von Dinklage: W7ASrev_Fig6.x_dose als .pdf

Three models are used: chi(r) changes instantaneously with P (solid line), chi(r) prop T(r) (dashed) and prop gradT(r) (dotted). The simulated changes in T are compared with ECE data at r/a = 0.22 for example. (Adapted from (Stroth_1996_PPCF))

Particle fluxes from particle balance analysis compared with ambipolar neoclassical predictions from the DKES code (dashed) for a discharge in the optimum confinement and with normal confinement at comparable conditions. The neoclassical transport coefficients were predicted to decrease in the outer radial region due to their temperature dependence.

stationary high confinement regime with a bootstrap current of 8.1 kA cannot be reached within a discharge time at W7-AS, the full evolution is constructed by shifting the time scale of the Ip,0 = 2, 5, 7.3 kA discharges such that their traces continuously match. (P = 400 kW, ne
