The ability to capture the isotope mass scaling of core confinement seen in experiment is validated with JETTO-TGLF for low power JET-ILW discharges across H, D and T. The cases analysed include Ohmic discharges spanning the linear and saturated Ohmic confinement regimes as well as a trio of L-modes. The TGLF saturation rules SAT1-SAT3 are seen to …
The experimental validation of turbulence models is a critical part of developing a predictive understanding of plasma transport. Models based on the non-linear gyrokinetic equations are currently the most well understood and experimentally validated models of turbulence available.
However, models of reduced complexity are required in order to mak…
